I never said I wanted to boot Windows from a 2 TB+ I just want to purchase higher capacity disks for data storage. english is not my native language but if you are not able to understand my personal problem do not reply please. according to jaclaz I have 2 possibilities: keep my XP 32 and make use of a 3rd party software or switch to either XP 64 or Server 2003 SP1 I would like to remain using my XP 32 because the ease to find drivers and software that work properly.

thanks jaclaz. all those numbers are chinese characters for me, you have to think I'm a little bit ignorant. so you don't recommend anyone the usage of Paragon/ Hitachi/ Seagate GPT tool. what do you mean by ''may add complexity'' ?? if one HDD is partitioned with one of those tools it might not be recognized and I could not access the data if I ever plug it on a W7-8-10 computer ? Gdisk is the susbtitute of Diskpart ? in my personal case why I would ever need this tool ? btw I don't know why dencorso user claims that XP 64 can't formating in GPT mode...

going to wait the reply from other members... I got confused now

100% agree. I don't think hackers are interested to atack a system used by less and less people. my AVAST anti virus has been disconnected throughout the year, I simply don't click the download button of malicious sites and I'm safe

I have been testing Sever 2003 R2 SP2 (x86 and x64) are you sure it can't format 2TB+ hard drives ? so Parangon GPT tool is the only way to keep using XP but I want to avoid using 3rd party tools.

the previous reply of yours is just the opposite and he said XP 64 cannot read 2TB+ hard drives.... who tells the truth ? to date I have being using WD RED 2TB (4Kb) for storage and I had to make use of Acronis WD Align tool the first day unless I delete MBR partition with http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/ I won't need the Acronis tool anymore to align them even after formating I'm not interested in external - USB hard drives nor the usage of Seagate DiscWizard tool this is why I asked if POSReady can support 5 TB HDD. I also want a single partion per drive not 5 TB splitted in 3 parts.... ( 2+2+1)

thanks jaclaz. I have been googling for a while but the wiki sites do not show anything it was launched in 2009 and thought it was able to format 3TB HDD and over....

thanks MrMaguire.

POSR 2009 is based on NT 5.1 or 5.2 like Server 2003 ?

Hi everyone. I just want to know if the POSReady 2009 can read-write hard drives over 2 TB like XP 64 ? thanks
