Re: Harddisk size and P4PE



Large HD size is supported by both bios and win - ie they both need to
support it.
Winxp sp2+ is required to recognise drives larger than 137gb.

Today I have an 80 GB S-ATA disk on my P4PE mainboard.
Is there any limit to what BIOS or XP will handle on P4PE.
Wondering about buying a 160 GB next time. Will that work?
