Only the 64-bit version of XP will recogonize the 500Gb drive as a whole. Otherwise it will only recogonize 186Gb.


There is no 186GB limit in Windows at all, let alone any difference between 32 and 64-bit Windows in file/volume size constraints (GUID partition table disk partitioning, which can expand capacity up to 18 Exabytes is available on 32-bit Win2003 SP1 as well as 64-bit Windows). There was a 128GB disk limitation due to BIOS addressing present up to Windows 2000 SP3/XP SP1 (see Hard Disk Drives Capacity Limits: Hardware Limits, 48-Bit LBA Support for ATAPI Disk Drives in Windows 2000 and How to enable 48-bit Logical Block Addressing support for ATAPI disk drives in Windows XP).

The only reason for seeing just 186GB "recognised" is if you created/formatted a partition of this size in Disk Manager, leaving the rest of the disk unused.

Nope, they aren't stored as .eml


Next time you send or receive an email in Netscape, try doing a search for files last modified within the last few minutes. That should turn up the files used for storing emails.
