Hello all,
I've been reading the forums and some Technet articles about this 137gb limit. Apparently this can be overcome with the installation of sp1 for Windows XP.
I was planning to purchase 2 Seagate SATA drives, either 80 or 160 gig, and configure them as RAID 0 and use this as my system disk. Both of those drives would put me over the 137gb mark if configured as RAID 0.
So I guess my question is: Can I configure RAID 0 with the drives in the BIOS, load Windows XP, and only expect to see more than 137gb after I install sp1 ?
Am I crazy or is this how it will be/work ? Also, I am assumming, because I can't find anything that says so, that this applies to both windows XP Home and Pro. Any ideas ?
Thanks all,
duke
