120 Gig HD Limit and Win XP upgrade

by eDawg <None> Jul 18, 2008 at 10:47 AM

I currently have a Windows 2000 Pro System with an 80 Gig Hard disk as the 
primary and a 250 Gig as the secondary. The secondary disk is only seen as

a 120 Gig disk and from what I read this is a limitation of Windows that 
was fixed in Windows XP Service Pack 1.

I am going to upgrade the system to Windows XP Sp 2 using the upgrade CD. 
But I also want to upgrade the primary Hard Disk to a 250 Gig Disk.

I think I am painting myself into a corner here. If I put in a brand new 
Disk for the primary and I try to use the Win XP SP2 upgrade CD will the 
upgrade process fail?

I own the original Windows 2000 Pro Installation CD. Will the Win XP 
Upgrade CD be happy to see that CD or is it going to be demanding some 
traces of Win 2000 on the Hard Disk?

Thanks!
