Solution or driver for 137 GB Barrier on SATA RAID

Hi there,

We are installing Windows XP on a brand new SATA RAID system with the HDs being 200 GB & windows is having problems in the final stage of install.

We get the blue screen of death. It says there is something wrong w/ the HDs.

HELP! LOL

Thanks

Usually your BIOS on the motherboard is what causes the 137GB limit. Flash your BIOS to the latest version. That should fix the problem.

Why not create two partitions of 100gb each, not only will this solve the problem, but add better HDD efficiency.

Edit - It's much easier as well!
