Getting ready to install a WD2000CSRTL 2TB drive in an older system (SKT A!) and was wondering what conciderations are necessary besides how many partitions he would want. Have already set the jumper for 150.
The sytem is as follows

What OS? If you are installing XP Vanilla (aka no service packs) then it won't recognize anything past 137GB.

Re: Setting Up a 2TB Caviar Green
Installed the WD2000CSRTL 2TB drive in the system with basically 1 x 1TB and 2 x 500GB partitions. This HDD has the "mechanical" jumper to regress to 150.
Owner took it home today quit happy.......yesterday was a big b#@*h as his 80GB primary was swapped out for a 160 ( set 2 x 80) and wasted 1-1/2+ hours before it sunk in that I had a bad XP OS disk! Major install the primary first with all the updates install then powered it up. After remember how to use the disk manager partioning and formatting was a snap.
