Please Note: In order to properly access the full capacity of an ATA interface hard drive or partition larger than 137GB and properly support 48-bit logical block addressing, Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 are required. This issue does not affect SCSI hard drives.

i know i have Windows XP pro and XP home, both copies are fully updated... pentium 4... etc.... now it says it needs support of 48bit logical block addressing..? whats that? and how do i know if it will work with me?
...and if you have any other good harddrives that you might point out to me... price isnt the issue, but i would like it to be reasonable...
also, i've heard that firewire was the way to go with these... or has USB 2.0 just wiped that off the map??? my laptops have the smaller 4 point firewfires and USB 2.0
