Dec 24, 11, 0 0. XP x32 can't use disks with GPT partitions. Win7 can. The bit version will see only the Protective MBR. The EE partition will not be mounted or otherwise exposed to application software. Last edited: Oct 3, You must log in or register to reply here. Post thread. CPUs and Overclocking. Graphics Cards.

Can anyone explain that? No one has yet. Saturday, August 13, PM. I believe you've got it. Here is a Western Digital forum post that explains it I think. Evans 0. Hi Dick, Apologies for the delay responding.
Wednesday, August 17, AM. Monday, October 21, AM. The MBR has 4 bytes to address sectors on a hard drive. At bytes per sector, that is 2TB.
At bytes per sector, that is 4TB. Wednesday, January 15, PM. External drives are NOT affected with this limitations! Friday, November 7, PM. They worked out of the box with XP. I then connect it to my XP machine and I can read and write to the the full 4TB partition, no extra software needed. If you removed the drive and put it into your computer it would not be recognized.
Please note I have tested this on the rounded My Books and confirm it works, but I have not tested the rectangular My Books. I confirm it works on both the older C Element drives from and the current model Element which is the 25A3. Dear Frank Thanks a lot for your help. Regards Shahram. Where are you getting those model numbers from? I really want to know if this method works with the one I decide to buy.
Has to be at least 4TB. I have too many files to back up. Frank method works. The whole operation of swapping the drives inside their cases took less than 15 minutes; the trickiest bit was not snapping the plastic clips that hold the box together. There are a few good video guides on YouTube about how to do it. I emphasise that this would only be possible using that generation of drive cases pre about that includes the little wonder chip. This trick with that bit of tech should theoretically let XP see drives up to just under 17TB.
Use WD Quick Formatter to fix these problems. You can use WD Quick Formatter 2. WD Quick Formatter 1. WD Quick Formatter 2. I hope I can be forgiven for reviving an old thread.
I found WD Quick Formatter 1. Supposing that there is a 4GB limit with XP 32 bit, does anyone know if the reformatted drive would still work but only 4TBs of space would be available, or would it just not work at all? So you should be good. I only tried WD Quick Formatter 1. Windows XP is long out of support, and you need to take a lot of security precautions to run it now. Many thanks for the quick reply, balazer.
I just have Cryptoprevent installed to protect against ransomware attacks. I do an occasional full online scan that uses 20 top anti-virus programs always come up clean. The last time I got a virus was on Windows
