Hi Lee,
One option to have a FreeBSD system on winxp, without any partitioning to the

On a Dell PowerEdge 1950, BIOS from 2007, a freshly installed WD 3 TB
SATA 6GB harddrive doesn't get recognized as 3 TB disk, it is reported
as 2TB disk only.
The box is running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE (see below the dmesg excerpt). The
drive is configured as ZFS pool on top of a GPT partition.
As it turns out - my usb adapter was defective. Once I used an
operational adapter all the devices appeared and the disk works like a
charm!
