Default max harddrive size

I am considering adding a second harddrive to my computer and I wanted to
find out what Windows will accept as the largest harddrive.

Default max harddrive size

Hallo Charlie Brookhart,


I am considering adding a second harddrive to my computer and I wanted to
find out what Windows will accept as the largest harddrive.

A lot more then is currently available. The only limiting factors for
buying harddisks is your wallet and the availability of larger disks.

You are not going to buy any individual (or RAID for that matter) Hard Drive
(or array) that you will be able to not use in Windows XP.

However, your motherboard is likely limited in some way.

They have just released a 400 GB hard drive, how much money
do you have?

I was thinking that there was a limit on harddrive size, but I guess I had
it confused with memory limitations.

Your motherboard may limit you to 137Gb - check the manual.
