Will Windows XP recognize 4TB hard drive?

In order to use all 4TB you need to upgrade to a newer version of Windows and have a motherboard that supports UEFI. This drive does not support older operating systems like Windows XP. You can use this drive in Windows XP or even Windows 98, but you will be limited to the first 2.1 TB.

Can Windows XP recognize 1TB hard drive?

XP SP2 will take you to a 750GB HDD. XP SP3 should work on 1TB but not a 1.5TB! The mthrbrd bios controls what your OS will see. Older mthrbrds, smaller drives.
