Yeah, I think so!

There are tons of Windows XP OEM installation that were shipped out on
large drives and none of them are failing because of problems with
48-bit LBA addressing! I don't care what you say the facts and
experience of others simply do not support your claims. Computer
manufacturers have been shipping XP installations on 160GB and 250GB
hard drives for many years now and users have been installing retail
versions on large drives for as many years and your assertions simply do
not bear out. If what you say were true there would have been
*millions* of complaints about this and the problem would be front page
news and discussed all over the place. I have seen many, many Windows
XP installations on large hard drives filed to near capacity and none
have succumbed to the 137GB 28-bit LBA barrier, this problem was
addressed with SP1 and your information is out of date

It has been tested in SP2 and SP3 with ALL updates applied so there is
certainly no mistake... It is very easy to replicate.
