Windows XP may not handle over 137GB hard drives if your BIOS doesn't support it. In that case, you'll need a ultra ata card controller.
Kay. :)
what's this i hear about WD saying anythin above 137gb makes disk defrag/scan disk go OJ?
I've never had any problems running CHKDSK (Scan Disk) or defragging my 160GB hard drive.Quote:

I have a 160GB and Windows 2000. I needed to install service packs and make a change to my registry, but now Windows recognizes my drive. No problems with defrag or scandisk.
is there anyway i can download XP's SP1, and save the install file to a disk? i wanna distribute it to my other computers that don't have or have slower connections to the internet.
Yes, you want what Microsoft calls the "network installation":Quote:
