I'm building a new computer with a 160GB hard drive and
Windows XP Home. Is there anything different or special I
need to do other than just boot up and install the OEM
full version CD. I have heard that you had to have XP
with SR1 to recognise a hard drive larger than 136GB's.
This is what I have. Any info would be appreciated.
 
You have to make sure your BIOS will recognize any hard drive larger than
137Gb first.
