"will I be able to create just 1 partition of greater than 137 GB (assuming I install using using Windows XP Home?"

"Norton Ghost 2003 and Ghost 7.5 and 8.0
These versions of Ghost support large hard drives. Windows XP with Service Pack (SP) 1 and Windows 2000 with SP3 supports 48-Bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA), which is required for drives larger than 137 gigabytes (GB). Because Ghost works in DOS, the partition is placed correctly on the drive, however, Windows XP with SP1 or Windows 2000 with SP3 must be the operating system. For more information on support for large hard drives with Windows 2000 SP3, read the Microsoft document 48-Bit LBA Support for ATAPI Disk Drives in Windows 2000 (30509Cool."

I this a small headache here is whether these are BILLION BYTE GBs or BILLLION BINARY BYTE GBs, but the answer looks clear to me.
