Will a 4TB external hard drive work on Windows XP?

If it's 64-bit XP there shouldn't be a problem. But if you're running 32-bit XP, there's a limit of 2048 GB (2TB) that it will access. You can try ASR3TB+Unlocker but, I don't know if it will work on a USB connected drive. Also, Windows will reserve some of the space. So instead of 4TB you may end up with about 3.5TB

    I'm still on XP, and was wondering will a new external hard drive still work on XP? I heard XP can only handle up to 2 TB.

    That software only works with Asrock motherboards and only internal drives.
