HI,
I'm having trouble finding the max limits for WinXP...Is
there a 138GB limit, or is this more BIOS related and not
the operating system?
Thanks!
 
The limit you are talking about is the LBA BIOS limit. This is corrected
with 48bit LBA BIOS updates (if possible) and Windows XP with Service Pack
1 (included during the XP installation).

Make sure that when you are installing XP onto the drive, you need to be
using a CD that has SP1 instaled onto it.
