How does one tell how large a hard drive any specific BIOS
will handle ?
What is winXPpro maximum hard drive size for partitioning and formatting?
Thanks

There is no easy way, the only real way is to try it.

There is no maximum that matters.
 
Around mid 2003 is when bios started supporting 48-bit (larger then 137GB
hard drives)
Some programs out there test bios for 48 bit support.
