Big Disks & 32-bit Windows

Mark · 19-08-2007, 18:00

Anyone know of any issues/fixes that allow Windows to be able to correctly access disks with more than 2^31 sectors (2,147,483,648 sectors, 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, 1 TiB) on 32-bit Windows?

I'm not sure if it's specifically a Windows issue, or a BIOS issue, but I've had two different PCs fail for the same reason on a new big disk.
