Does partitioning help me get around the 48-bit LBA/137GB large hard disk
capacity barrier? Thanks.

No.
The Operating system needs to see the entire disk. This is done by installing WinXP SP1.

I don't see whyNo.

I can see my two 160Gb drives, and I haven't got SP1 installed

Do a search for the file - Atapi.sys
When found....
Right Click on the file and report back the version.

Well since you failed to reply...
You most likely installed a pre-SP1 patch that updated Atapi.sys to work w/48bit LBA.
WinXP SP1 rolled all pre-SP1 updates into WinXP SP1 therefore that is the preferred way to
fix the problem.

Easy....
Very large databases.
6.3 or greater megapixel JPEGs
MOV, AVI or other Digital Video files
That's good for a start.

I do. As a photographer, I routinely scan slides to .TIFF files, each of
which vary between 20MB and 80MB, depending on the resolution quality
desired. Customers would have a tough time making a life size portrait from
a 2MB JPEG.

That's the min. version for LBA. Like I said, you installed a pre-SP1 update.

With fair use rights, I can put anything on my HDD for my convenience,
therefore nothing would be illegal (with regards to how I acquire the
material), except certain content that in itself would be illegal, no
matter where I got it.

If a person does much video editing or rendering, then they can very
easily use 320GB of disk space.

Also, most *current* OEM CDs of Windows XP (Home or Professional) are SP1
slipstreamed variants which therefore don't need the pre-SP1 ATAPI patch for
larger HDs.
These slipstreamed versions of XP are *required* if any of the following are
true:
1. You have a hard drive larger than 137 GB that is not SCSI.
2. You have a Serial ATA hard drive (regardless of size).
3. You have any of the following Intel Pentium 4 processors: 2600C/2600E,
2800C/2800E, 3060B/3000C/3000E, 3200C/3200EE/3200E, 3400E/3400E-EE/3400EE.
Ask your dealer about OEM Windows XP Home/Professional including SP1 when
buying any of the above items.
