Native XP without a service pack will
not. This is because it does not support 48 bit LBA. Any hard drive that is over 120GB is a 48 bit LBA drive

New install of Windows XP to new 48-bit LBA hard drive. If you are doing a new install of Windows XP you need to make sure the installation CD is labeled "Including Service Pack 1". If your Windows XP install CD is prior to Service Pack 1, you can still utilize the full capacity of your 48-bit LBA drive by upgrading to SP1 after Windows XP is installed then using a 3rd party partition tool like PowerQuest Partition Magic to expand the partition created by Windows install to full capacity.
