a friend was having problems with this, so i suggested he used partition magic to split his 160gb external into 2x 80gb, but am now woundering whether this will help.
He didn't search the TF, did he? *sigh* They never search the TF...A topic (like this) could be asked and answered a hundred times, and no one bothers looking.

i searched for 127gb limit partition magic (no results)
as my question was related specifically to using partition magic to split the drive, i posted a new thread.
HAPPY????
ANYWAY: i thought you had to format with a slipstreamed version of windows and sp1, or is that only if you want to recognise a drive bigger than 127 THAT WINDOWS IS ALREADY INSTALLED ON?
well my question was relating specifically to asking if windows would recognies the full space if the drive was split into multiple partitions of under 127GB, and i could not find anything on that. if you can find one, then ill admit i was wrong to post, but untill then....
i know how to fix it, i though he was going to have to do a format with slipstreamed xp and sp2, but didnt realise that as i was an external, this wasnt nessessary.
