Re: Disk partitioning size

Really, How would people find out that it was broken? The regular users
generally did not have HD's that were larger than 120GB So they could not
report it for it never affected them until after they got HD bigger than
137GB

What the heck are you mumbling about now? SP1 included the 48-bit LBA fix
(as released the Windows XP ATAPI driver had no 48-bit LBA support and was
incapable of handling large LBA disks). It was very quickly discovered
that the 48-bit LBA fix supplied in SP1 caused problems when the machine
was put into hibernation or when the machine crashed and wrote a memory
dump file. So about 4 months after the release of SP1 a fix was released
to fix the SP1 48-bit LBA ATAPI driver so that it could handle memory
dumps and hibernation.

I don't see the what the release date of SP1 has to do with anything, it
is a well known fact that the initial SP1 48-bit LBA driver had a bug that
was later repaired. What is it that you don't understand? SP1 broke
what? The non existent 48-bit LBA support in the original Windows XP
release? Anyway, I'm done with this thread, you need to update your
knowledge and keep up with the developments in the field, you are at least
6 years behind with this 28-bit 137GB LBA information, an eternity in the
IT world!

Good luck with your endeavours!

2001, from October 2001 to January 22, 2003 is quite a long time....
