Max total disk capacity
I have a Windows Pro SP3 32bit that currently has 2 320GB hard
drives. I am in the process of waiting for two 1TB hard drives. Will I have problems?

Not with Windows accessing the drives after they
are formatted. But you should download and run the drive manufacture's diagnostic software as soon as you install the drives and before you move any data to them. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "smlunatick" wrote in message ...

I don't know, depends on how patient you are, shipping can take a few days.
Try some xanax if you get too uptight waiting for the drives. -- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "smlunatick" wrote in message ...

The only issue I can think of, is if the drives are connected to a SIL3112 chip. The firmware for that, has a bug which causes the computer to hang during POST. There are solutions, including purchasing another add-in interface card. There are additional rules above 2TB. So if they ever make a single drive bigger than that, or you make a RAID array bigger than that, do some research first. See the references here, to "2TB". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table Paul
