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). -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP livego wrote: the message show "ATA disk drivers ship with windows do not support drives greater than 137GB", Should I change the mainboard or th O.S.?

Doen't necessarily need a new motherboard, a PCI controller card that
supports that size drives will work. "Mike M" wrote in message ...

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

200G disk can not make the full use
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. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Rick T wrote: Mike M wrote: 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.

Been there, done that, and no doubt will continue to do so in the future. :-) Cheers, -- MM Rick T wrote: Mike M wrote: The OP asked what operating system he would require to be able to use his 200GB drive.
