| 505719 | 2006-12-10 22:57:00 | ok i'm assuming you've bought a new pc in the past 2 years that comes with windows xp. well did the computer you bought already have a bios that supports hard drives larger than 137gb or did u have to upgrade your bios? | lance4k (4644) | ||
| 505720 | 2006-12-10 23:03:00 | Most of the newer systems would support hdds bigger than 137gb, without updating the BIOS. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Hi mate, the 137GB limitation is XP O/S, sp1 and up see the lot.....nothing to do with the BIOS |

| 505723 | 2006-12-11 06:51:00 | Hi mate, the 137GB limitation is XP O/S, sp1 and up SP1 & earlier you mean. It was fixed in Sp2. |

| 505724 | 2006-12-11 06:55:00 | SP1 & earlier you mean. It was fixed in Sp2. quite correct sp1 and earlier had the 137Gb limit sp2 removes that limit for most home users unless your planning on using a 20TB sigle partition |

What SM meant was XP SP0 and XP SP1 have the 137GB limit, but the versions above that (XP SP2, Vista) realise over 137GB, just not all that clear :p Speedy.....I've got a upgrade question that mite be right up your alley.....but may bore everyone else senseless......shall I ask it here or can I PM ya? You could create a new thread if you want a few opinions, but if you only require the answer of Speedy then I would say go for a PM :) |
