    Harddrive xp problems..

    I heard somewhere that xp can't see more then 2 hard drives is that true?
    If it is... WHY?

    I currently have a 15 and a 30 gig..
    my 30 has all my media and games while my 15 has my op system and programs...
    if I would take my 30 and copy it to my 120 will it work even if the drive letter will be the exact same so all paths will be correct?
    further more I was then gonna take my 15 and move it to my 30...

    Would would be the best way to do all this? Thanx guys

    False.

    If you do a drive image or ghost from one drive to another, the drives don't keep their drive letters if they are both left in the system. The Primary IDE will still be the C: drive.

    Depending on what brand of drive you buy, it will usually come with software to partition, format and copy data. Maxtor has Maxblast, for example.
