Im going to upgrade my PC HD, but i want a large amount of data storage, something like 200gb.
The hard drive will be split into two partitions, so i was wondering if this will cause any conflicts with XP? as i know there was issue with large drive sizes and Windows XP.
Is this still an issue?

didnt think it was to do with windows xp, was to do with bios not having a LDA or something.
