>If I buy a 1tb external usb drive, will it have the same 120gb limit due to >my motherboard or what?
No it will not. An external drive comes with its own disk controller in the drive's box. You are not using the controller on your motherboard so those limits do not apply. However, you OS may also place limits on addressability and those limits would apply. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
