Default Max Hard Drive Size 8KNXP Rev 2.0

Does anyone know what the maximum size hard drive I can fit into my 8KNXP
board? I have 4 drives at the moment (1x40GB and 3x120GB) and I was thinking
of swapping them all for SATA type drives. Just need to know how large I can
go.

Cheers.

Si

As large as you want, just ensure you have Windows XP with SP2.

Not sure about SATA, but vanilla XP from the box with no service packs
didn't mind 200Gig IDE's, so I imagine SATA will at least match IDE.
