In theory, a GPT disk can be up to 2^64 logical blocks in length. Logical blocks are commonly 512 bytes in size. The maximum partition (and disk) size depends on the operating system version. Windows XP and the original release of Windows Server 2003 have a limit of 2TB per physical disk, including all partitions. The maximum partition size for Windows 2000 is 256 terabytes, or about 256 times the size of the largest consumer drives available.
Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage Any advice is appreciated,I have a 300GB seagate ata hard drive inside an ACOMdata enclosure (USB2.0/Firewire). It is formatted fat32 one big 279GB partition. When itis connected to my computer at home (XP pro) via firewire, I can seeeverything. When it is connected to the same machine via usb 2.0,windows tells me the hard drive is not formatted. A friend of mineconnected the same drive into a linux machine via usb 2 and he saweverything as well, but he did notice using fdisk that the partitiontable said that there was only 127 GBs available.I need to use this disk at work and all I have at work is usb 2. Atwork, I have the same problem as at home (with usb 2), it tells me thatit is not formatted.
I have made sure that I have SP4 on this win 2kmachine, the registry key for large hard drives is set to 1. I don'tknow what this could be.Please help.Sean. Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage Cheap usb/1394 enclosures use different chips for the two.The USB chip may have a 137GB limit, but 1394 may not.If Windows sees a 279GB partition on a 137GB disk, it gets confused.Not sure how you would test this in Windows, but Linux seems to catch it better.

SeanThat is the limitation of the OS you can't overcome. The best Win2000 canrecognize is 128GB, and only with SP4 patch!
