Ok, I just ordered my stuff to build my system. I got a 160GB SATA drive that I want to use as 1 big partition. I know that Win XP pre SP1 supposedly does not support this. My question is, since I have an orginal XP CD, am I going to be able to do this? I mean, you can't change the partition size after the install, right? Or will the SATA drivers or BIOS handle this for me? The system, for the record is:

A64 3000+
ASRock K8S8X
512MB Crucial PC3200
ATI AIW 9600XT
Seagate 160GB SATA
Antec Sonata

3 things mainly,

I've heard nothing but good things about it

It's cheap

I don't need any frills, Gb Lan, etc.

My other choice was the Chaintech VNF-250, but I just decided that I was less likely to have problems with the Rock.
