harddrive limitations on vista?

royalmarine · 12-14-2007, 11:43 PM

does windows vista have a maximum harddrive size it can read?

i mean the original xp use to be only able to see 1 or 2 tb's.

does windows vista have any limitations?

im building an array of about 6tb's for work and was wondering if it will work.

thanks.

Basic disks have that limitation. Look into GPT or dynamic disks
