While the BIOS call supports 48-bit LBA, the MBR partition table is limited to 32-bit LBA addresses for partition dimensions. If you partition the disk with a GPT partition table, those limitations are removed, but GPT-partitioned disks aren't supported by XP (at least).
Excellent point, but doesn't that mean a BIOS that supports LBA (which as been around for many years) will support 2^18 TB? I think my arithmetic is correct, but please correct me if I misunderstand.
