NTFS Maximum Volume Size
In theory, the maximum NTFS volume size is 264−1 clusters. However, the maximum NTFS volume size as implemented in Windows XP Professional is 232−1 clusters. For example, using 64 kB clusters, the maximum Windows XP NTFS volume size is 256 TB minus 64 kB. Using the default cluster size of 4 kB, the maximum NTFS volume size is 16 TB minus 4 kB. (Both of these are vastly higher than the 128 GB limit lifted in Windows XP SP1.) Because partition tables on master boot record (MBR) disks only support partition sizes up to 2 TB, dynamic or GPT volumes must be used to create NTFS volumes over 2 TB. Booting from a GPT volume to a Windows environment requires a system with UEFI and 64-bit support.

I have a 1TB drive on my XP Pro SP3 system that is set up as 2 ( 500MB ) NTFS partitions

Thank you very much nixie for your quote, link and comments.

But...

There's one thing I can't stop wondering about...

Do these facts also apply to XP Home Edition SP3?

Can you (or somebody ) please answer this question for me?

Thank you for your time.
