How big of a hard drive can 2000 support?

I just installed a RAID of 7 500GB drives. I can set it up to be any
size but when I make it any larger the 1.6 terabyte Windows 2000 can't
see it in Disk Management. I would like to have it be at least 2.0
terabyte if possible. Do you think I’m needing a BIOS update or is there
something in my Win2k configuration I need to change?

Opps, sorry it's called an "array", Not RAID.

Some more details on your motherboard and RAID array, and raid
controller would be helpful to determine if you need a bios or
firmware upgrade.

Also, what service pack are you running?

As far as I'm aware win2k,ntfs, supports 2tb - not sure if any greater.
(PS Its a raid array)
