XP Pro (note no SP1 or SP2) can't handle over 127GB (or 137GB if you count bytes another way) and the issue is fully explained at http://www.48bitlba.com

I am having trouble accessing my maxtor 6y200m0 sata drive, the Nforce3 sata raid driver that came with my board has been corrupted on the floppy, so I have downloaded and used the one from the NVIDIA website and the file from the Maxtor site, But when I try to access it, windows tells me it needs formatting (and if I try to format it, then it crashes!...windows recognises it in "my computer" and reports it on diagnostic programs, but it wont let me access it)
I am using XP Pro. and my Sata drive is 200GB
Can anyone offer any suggestions for this problem?
thanks in advance
