I think you will not only need a motherboard that supports 48 bit LBA
addressing but also XP Service Pack 1 (Home or Pro) or later to fully utilise
your hard disk.

See MS KB 303013 - "How to enable 48-bit Logical Block Addressing support for
ATAPI disk drives in Windows XP" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=303013).

Doen't necessarily need a new motherboard, a PCI controller card that
supports that size drives will work.

Very few users will find the XP service pack useful here, I think g.

The OP asked what operating system he would require to be able to use his
200GB drive. Win Me does not nor XP. He needs to run as a minimum XP SP1 or
later.

LOL.

Been there, done that, and no doubt will continue to do so in the future. :-)

Actually, it's "... do not support drive ***partitions*** greater than
137GB".
