A piece of software that adds support for 2.2+ TB partitions to the 32-bit version of Windows XP (the 64-bit version already includes a GPT driver starting with Service Pack 1). As you can see in the screenshots, it works just fine with the Western Digital Black WD4005FZBX (a brand new 4 TB 7200 RPM 3.5" SATA HDD). It should be compatible with other drives. The archive also includes the unofficial 8.0.1.2 update of the Paragon GPT driver that fixes a couple of bugs that would cause BSODs. The software was discontinued back in 2018 (making it abandonware), so I figured I would upload it here for anyone with a Windows XP retro gaming PC/multiboot gaming PC with storage drives above 2 TB. EDIT (2022/12/25): Despite using the patched driver, I still got the bug that prevents XP from booting when more than 2 TB of data is written to the HDD.
