Hard Drive Limit

[John]

Is there a limit to how big of a hard drive you can use
with Windows XP? If so is there any way around it?
Thanks

John

Windows XP will recognize hard drives in excess of 2 Terabytes if formatted
NTFS and up to 4GB of RAM. Your motherboard is the limiting factor as to how
large a drive and the amount of RAM you can actually use with Windows XP.

Note: A terabyte is 1024 times a gigabyte.
