Probably not a beefy enough power supply. Try a better one.

Funny!!

Why are you now just asking the "real" question?

Probably something wrong with drive or not connecting it properly.
jumper settings? connected to MB or PCI card? if so, what type?

ATA or SATA drive?
Same for others?

Adding it as 4th drive? nothing on it? not formatted?

everyone else approached as your original ??.

No. There is no limit imposed by Windows. The only limits are those imposed
by the hardware: the size of available drives, the the number of drive bays
available, the size of your power supply, number of USB ports, etc.

There are 1 TB (1000 GB) USB drives available. Install a few of these, and
you could amass a *lot* of disk space.

No, that's not correct.

First of all, that limit was a *per drive" limit, not the total limit he
asked about.

Second, that per-drive limit has been gone for some time now--since SP1 of
Windows XP.

But what is the CURRENT rating of the power supply?
In my experience the wattage rating has little to do with whether or not
your board will power up.
e.g. I could not power my P5GD2 Premium with a 550W supply but it now runs
great with a 430W suplly that delivers almost double the current (amps) as
the 550. Certainly worthwhile you look into this at some point.

Perhaps. But its less then the current drives made availble to the
public at large.
