You will need to partition this drive into two smaller drives. Win2kPUT NEW HDD WD 200G SATA AS STORAGE BUT IN DISK MANAGEMENT IT ONLY SHOWS AS

and WinXP will choke on partitions larger than 137g.

I got Service Pack 4 I I have a total amount of four drives
120G SATA(C:\ drive) OS
120G SATA(D:\ drive) backup
200G SATA(E:\ drive shows 128G) backup
80G ATA 133 (H:\ drive )backup
Hope this will help.
If I put the OS on the 200G will that help the problem
Thanks
I don't consider using drives larger than 128GB to be easy
at all. If you are using the disk for data storage only,
following the advice on 48bitlba.org could give you a working
setup - I'd probably want Partition Magic on hand, to be
assured I could have whatever partition configuration I wanted.
But installing an OS on a large disk, is a lot trickier. You
could make yourself a "slipstreamed" install CD (there are
procedures for that on the net, but they are not for the
faint of heart). The slipstreamed CD, when you do the install,
already has the Service Pack in place, so avoids the presence
of an incompatible original OS on the disk. Again, it may be
possible to install the original Win2K, install service pack,
check for the registry entry, then use Partition Magic to clean
up the mess, but I've never tried that. In fact, one of the
reasons the largest disk on all my computer is 80GB, is the
existence of this issue.
Good luck,
Paul
