Max Hard Drive Size Recognition in Windows XP SP2

[rmammen]

Hi.

Currently in my pc, I have a .5 Tb internal drive and a 1 Tb internal drive. They work fine, No problems.
I recently bought a 1.5 Tb internal drive, however, and upon installing it, can't get it to work.

With all three drives connected, in the bios I can see all three but in Windows I can only see the original two.
Then I disconnected the 1 Tb drive. At that point, in the bios I can see the original .5 Tb drive and the new 1.5 Tb drive but in windows, I can only see the .5 Tb drive.

Oh, as well, all these drives are connected via SATA2

Any ideas?

XPSP1+ shouldn't have any issues with a drive that size. I don't know the upper limit offhand, but I'm sure its well above 1.5TB.
