I will be installing WXP Pro Sp1 (slipstreamed) on a RAID 0 with a 160Gb
capacity. Will windows see the entire drive capacity or only a portion of
it?
 
The current drivers for IDE RAID chips don't have the 137GB limit.

137Gb for XP without SP1 but if you slipstream XP+SP1 onto a CD there is
effectively no limit.
 
Nonsense, he has RAID.

If you slipstream that does not include the registry hack, so does not work.

Thanks for info but one question comes to mind-
By installing the o/s directly onto the RAID array, it does not matter which
Windows version I intend to use?
 
Generally there is one supported driver for Windows 2K/XP/2K3, and it will do
48-bit.

Windows 98/ME may use the same driver if it a scsi miniport, may not. Pretty
much end-of-life for these.
