Default large external hard drives

In message , Dee writes:
I recently bought a WD Elements 2 TB external drive. Win XP SP 3 was
able to see the drive but was not able to format it to make it usable.
I had to download the WD Quick Formatter tool which then formatted the
drive in about a minute. The drive is now recognized and is able to be
used.

My question is, would this also work with a larger 4 or 5 TB drive?

Thanks.


1. Can you tell us where you downloaded it from?
1a. Does it only work on WD drives?
2. Would it also get round whatever size limit Windows 7 has?
