Does anyone know if there is a limit on the size of a
hard drive for XP? I looked in the knowledge base and
couldn't find any real helpful info. I thought that Win
98 had a limitation, and am not sure about XP.

Thanks

I wouldn`t have thought there was a limit , after all the hard drive is only a storage facility. If as I suspect you may have installed a new hard drive and it is only recognising so many Gig, then you can go to the manufacturers web site and down load software that will put a layer on the hard drive and this will help to recognise the full size of the drive, or at least Maxtor have such a facility. Some computers can only count up to a certain number and may not recognise a large hard drive. Hope this helps. john

Check BIOS settings for possible hard drive size.
