OT: [thelist] Operating Systems

[Jay Fitzgerald]

I have "tried" to use it...I purchased the RC's from Microsoft when they first offed them,
and ever since, I have formatted (literally) 20 times and still am unable to get them to
work (both RC1 and RC2)....I have two 46 Gig drives with 7 partitions (4 on one and 3 on
the other)...Once XP is installed, it only recognizes them as 32.1 Gig Drives...There was
even one instance where it wouldn't even see the second drive at all.....

I know that these problems exist for the Corp. edition (just as they did with Windows
2000); so I am hoping that the "Home Edition" will cure this problem (just as ME did after
2000)...My recommendation (unless someone has a solution) for anyone with hard drives
larger than 32 gigs is to stay away from XP for now - as they will patch the heck out of
it.....
