By default, the cluster size is 4096 bytes, so its limit is 16TB. Therefore, to break 2TB file system limit, you can convert the disk to GPT disk and format it as NTFS.
except winXP 32 doesnt do gpt unless you spend some money buying a driver for it, not natively.
but if course we know that you dont have any HDD made in this decade. -

How often do you use it, what types of tasks do you run daily.
You must not be much of a computer user beyond web browsing.
My monitor, a Sceptre 14" LCD has been powered on continuously since 1995 without issue. My IBM ThinkCentre, with a 80GB hard drive, has been powered on since 2005 without issue. I use it for everything, not only web browsing. Gaming, graphics editing, audio editing, networking... -

I'm suspicious of that ... wouldn't dust build up and clog the psu/cooling?
That's how my psu in my 2008 build died on me I assume.
Also why keep a monitor running nonstop like that when you can just turn it off while you're not using it. -

Look at who you are responding to. 100% of what spectral says is bullshit. -

I remove the accumulated dust from the vent occasionally. Never needed to power off for that. It's actually much better never to turn your device off. When you turn your device on and off frequently, that puts stress on the circuits, leading to degradation. When you never turn the device off, the circuits stay in a continual state, which makes them last three or four times longer than otherwise. Stuff they don't teach you in Tech 101.

Your average hard drive is only rated for 5,000 hours. But you can extend the life by not moving or disturbing it. If you disturb its balance, that puts minute amounts of stress on the read/write arm, causing damage, and certain sectors/clusters to fail. Also, you want a dry environment. Too much moisture can get in the drive and cause damage to the platter. Another way to extend the life significantly is to use the Windows ChkDsk to write off/mark off bad sectors, so the system won't use them. -

The 2010s decade is objectively garbage.
Here is to hoping the 2020s will be better.

Started with Windows 95 which was a pre vista
10 is supposed to be an entirely different architect. I think it was Windows 8 that ended the Vista period. Windows 7 is great as long as you don't update the shit pack3 which forces you to become windows 8.
