Hello,

I recently found out that there is a 2TB limit of hard Drive space for Windows XP. Does anyone know what the limit is with Vista Home Premium or Ultimate (32-bit), because I have a Media PC & want to eventually have more than 2TB of space.

Thank you,
Jeff

Vista can use >2TB disks on data disks by using GPT format vice MBR (see Windows and GPT FAQ).

You cannot use GPT on the boot disk unless your system has an EFI BIOS.
