I'm running Windows XP (with service pack 1 only - 2 not yet installed) with a 120GB primary hard drive.

I have a secondary drive (40GB) that I use for backup (and music/video storage). I've begun looking at larger drives (80-100GB) to replace this one. I notice that the difference in price in these larger drives is not that much ... and I started thinking about a larger drive still (120GB+).

However, I'm aware that there is a 137GB limit on the size of a drive in XP.

Is there a way to get around this limit. Could I partition a larger drive with XP and have, in effect, three drive partitions? Can this be done in XP?

Thanks in advance,

Terry
