It sure does!!! BTW, since you're the 1st to get it, for the time being, *do* *not* reformat nor repartition it. I'd sure like to look at its first 8kiB, starting from LBA0. Would you kindly get a copy of that with an hexeditor, zip and attach the resulting binary image? TIA. Sure WDMBE3T.ZIP

One partition, NTFS

(Info added July, 2019): This solution also works for 10TB WD EasyStore external USB disks. (Info added in Oct, 2018): Problem solved by (who else?) @Comos, of course!!! The newer GPT formatted WD My Book and My Passport external USB disks can be reformatted by using the WD Quick Formatter, http://download.wdc.com/misc/WD_Quick_Formatter_Win_1_2_0_10.zip. Then they become visible to XP (and report 4KiB sectors, too)!!! Hi everyone, as I started a discussion about an issue when running a 3TB HDD on WinXP 32bit in a USB 3.5" drive enclousure, link: today ,I can confirm, that a external USB HDD from WD, currently 3TB My Book Essential does have full capacity support on Win XP 32bit. (maybe in Win Y2K also) Today I have bought it and have 3TB in full armor Seems that the additional WD HW logic takes care of the rest and the related links were speaking the truth: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/8fd33944-0202-4dff-a432-356e2b231f2e/ http://community.wdc.com/t5/External-Drives-for-PC/Exceeding-2Tb-limit-questions/td-p/234694 message to @dencorso: The light has been kindled !

I have no clue and no desire to spend time loading all the different versions to find out as this would be an exercise in futility. Besides, the issue not the "missing functions which are irrelevant to the OS in question based on WinAMP code that obviously check for the OS in question and acts accordingly".Function Dependencies ONLY MATTER when a given Not-OS Program is installed and "fails". Check out KernelEX project, OK? There is ALWAYS a "limit" to what an OS can do for a Program that is normally NOT supported by the OS, even for the KernelEX Project! Im aware about the KernelEX Project, great work !

128GB/137GB is the BIOS limit. I used the external HDD. It's not used for booting, and it's on a controller card.But rloew brought up a good point. Some write actions can be done before Windows booting completes, and those might use BIOS functions. Even if the OS partition fits within the BIOS detected size, I actually do have an additional software partition that doesn't. If only the BIOS treated the HDD as 128GB, or even 10-20GB, that'd be enough, but 8GB is very borderline. Too bad there's no 128GB clamp jumper on the drive. I might solve the problem by doing more HDD rotations than I anticipated. :-/ For a boot drive?! Nope, not for a boot drive.

Yes it does work.I was only curious why , when example the same program have on Win98SE all functions okay, where is the huge difference.

Hi everyone, for some time I used a Total Commander plugin called File Info for checking the DLL's if they are missing or what is wrong. When I check also the system DLL's I have a warning,that there are some functions missing of not succesfully loaded although that program or OS WIN95OSR2 seems to work fine. Any idea how to peek why it is not loaded or where's the problem exactly?

In the past when I was running Siemens-Nixdorf i486/100 & Win95OSR2 I had similar issue with the BIOS HDD size limitation.Then I disabled the detection on that IDE channel completely and windows during bootup detect the drive (<137GB) and I was able to use it.

The official MoBo manual doesn't tell all the secrets.I tested all combinations and the lowest volatge I can get is 2.0V. To get 450Mhz is fine for me,but not with less CPU power that I had before,which disappoints me. I have a revision v2.3, the board I have fixed with newer and stronger FET's to handle newer CPU's.Interesting is, that there are other types like TX97-E which supports also 83Mhz FSB, look similar like T97-X but on T97-X that FSB combination doesn't work. Dunno why Asus didn't impletent it to the T97-X which seemed was the last in their series with Triton II chipset.

Sure, I had a long chat with Jan about the patching and had a last custom patch installed.

Hi everyone, for a longer time I run a GF4 MX440 PCI on my Win95OSR2 with drivers 41.09.I would like to upgrade, but which driver version to choose? I red somewhere, that in some later versions were bugs. Anyone have experience with these?

I have tried once only to test if the mobo will bootup with K6-III+, then I set it to 6.0x.The previous K6-III was AMD-K6-III/400AFR.Now the AMD K6-IIIE+ 400 - K6-III+/400ATZ. Seems you are right about the FSB as I checked both CPU's.On both the 75Mhz remained in my setup.

I had also the idea to just empty the key and correct the order, but that would be a mess when searching for something.Since I can't rename the values I rather delete it all and then modify it like your example 1,2,3,4 and so on.

Hi everyone, this thread is a little bit retro, but I can't figure out where is the problem. I recently run my older PC with ASUS TX-97-X which has patched BIOS to support AMD K6 CPU's. Most of the time I run a K6-III 400 clocked @ 412Mhz (5.5x75).Somehow this one didn't run stable at 450.Half year ago I got a few AMD K6-III+ 400. When I install this CPU, I clocked it to 450 (6x75), runs stable, but when tested quickly in MPXPLAY, the CPU load is about 2-3% higher then I had with K6-III which was clocked even lower ! The tools that runs under DOS to get max from this CPU I run all the time, but what could be the problem? The stepping of the CPU or the PowerNow! feature is throttling the performance?

That OOLAUNCHER look nice but only for XP.So for my Win9x I'll do the execution order the oldschool way then, export, delete entry, modify order in the reg file and import again. Thanks for the help guys !

Thanks for the tip, very usefull info ! It is as I expected, exucuted in alphabetic order.

Hi everyone, just one to ask, what is the execution order in registry setting HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run ? Is it exactly as it is listed in registry , that means alphabeticly sorted? I was dealing with curious thing that my QuickLaunch 95 tool under Win95OSR2 causes the Explorer.exe to crash after bootup. I created in the registry new text variable and moved QuickLaunch95 execution at the end of the list and it worked fine now. Mateus

In this case the limitation should be max 16T HDD. Gotta buy that stuff from WD and test it

Elaborate, please. I went to WD's site and couldn't find anything about it (then again, it can be just a trivial case of bad Google-Fu, of course). Hi Den, sure I will elaborate I need to solve this bul*****, that I didn't expect with WinXP 32bit, because Im outta space for my stuff I haven't tested it on a good old Win9x yet how it is recognized. Here are some links,that I was digging into: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/8fd33944-0202-4dff-a432-356e2b231f2e/ http://community.wdc.com/t5/External-Drives-for-PC/Exceeding-2Tb-limit-questions/td-p/234694

Well partly solved. One thing is,that there is a jumper in the enclousure for the limitation to 2TB and the second thing is,that WinXP 32bit can handle only 2TB over USB... **** ! Only exeption is to WD Mybook Essential,which has logic to trick the OS about the real drive's geometry.

OS is WinXP 32bit, that's why used Paragon's GPT Loader. Drive enclousure is SK-3501 Super-S3 from Akitio http://www.akitio.com/professional-storage/sk-3501-super-s3 Another solution is,that the enclousure doesn't handle the size what they claim. Response from Paragon was,that is for the drives which are attached directly to the MB.But if the USB converter handles it,it should work also. Funny this is,that my cheap USB/SATA/IDE converter reports the drive as 16TB :-))) So there is definitely somekind a problem with the translation in the enclousure.

Hi everyone, does anybody have experience when running a 3TB 3.5" in a enclousure over USB on WinXP? I tried to combine a Paragon GPT Loader and a drive enclousure from Akitio, which they claim that it supports drives from 80GB-3TB, but even now it's reported by GPT Loader,that the disk is only in 2TB in size. Before I had an enclousure from I-tec and the result was same,but as I beleived,it was caused by it's only 2TB drive support. Any idea? Greets Comos

I've never used it, so I don't know. BenoitRen might know more about it, I believe I've seen him mention that utility before... Okay, I'll try to ask him.Today I have tested the patched explorer and it is working

The file size is the same as Russian version, so I have fixed it and I'll test it tomorrow.Also I dunno what causes that the explorer.exe sometimes crashes when using the Quick Launch 95 utility in startup....
