I want to add a 200gb hd to my ide3. Would only show
128GB. Hard drive tech says I need Windows XP Pro SP1A.
I installed it. My system is unstable at first would
only boot is safe, then would not boot at all.
Reinstalled XP-Pro Stable again, Patched with SP1A same
thing. Did this 3 times. Now Windows won't let me
download the SP1A again. ?????
 
Hi Brian,

What happens when you try reinstalling SP1a again?

And yes, unless the motherboard supports it, you need SP1a for 48-bit LBA in
order to use the full extent of that drive.
