Maybe a dumb question, but have you tried Windows 7? Seems to work
pretty good for me after I got rid of the crappy Microsoft WHQL Radeon
drivers and went with Catalyst 9.5.

Guess I'll have to go with XP64 as the Vista video bug was the whole reason
I downgraded in the first place.

Subject: [H] Windows XP and 4TB partition
I just reformatted my HTPC from Vista back to XPSP3 due to an issue
with
24fps playback in XBMC. The problem is XP isn't recognizing my
NTFS-formatted 4 TB RAID array. It was working just fine under Vista
32-bit
and the RAID management software shows that it is just fine. Drivers
for
the RAID card (Areca 1220) are properly installed and working.
I know there are issues with XP 32-bit and booting from drives larger
than
2TB but I didn't think that also applied to non-boot arrays (my boot
drive
is a 80 GB SATA).
Thoughts?
