asked on

are there any limits in hard disk sizes connected via USB?

Hello!

I have external box for connecting hard disks via USB interface (USB 1.1). This worked good so far, but I always used smaller disks - 40GB max. Now I would like to have more storage so I bought 200GB WD hard disk, but looks like it is not recognizeable. Is this famous 137GB limit or something else?

Most likely. Make sure you have Service Pack 1 or 2 installed.
