You can theoretically run upto 400Gb (ish from memory) on an external USB
unint, we've just purchased a couple of 250Gb units, have you checked the
specification of the external USB device you've got the HDD in ?

Subject: [windows2000] Using hard drives larger than 200GB with USB2 in XP
Hi all,
I just installed a new 200G hd in an external case connected over
usb2 to winxp sp2 and only 128G can be seen.
Tried same usb-box on my portable, and same thing happens there.
The portable also runs xp sp2.
I also tried looking for a possible bios-fix on both Aopens site
(the mobo is an AK79D-400VN) and Compaqs (the portable is an Evo
N610c) with no success.
Would anybody know if this 128G limit is inherent on the
usb2-hardware side or if it's windows?
The new hd is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7, BTW.
Thx.
BW,
Sorin
