4k sector and 64 bit architecture

[muujig612]

Hi

I bought Seagate 3TB HDD and is about to install it on my PC

Due to 32bit Windows XP limitations I have to use my hard drive with 4K sector something bla bla bla... I don't really understand that stuff.

My question is after using the 3TB HDD in 4K sector something with 32-bit Windows XP can I use it in Windows 7 64-bit OS? My data will it be accessible from Windows 7 64-bit OS?
My current mobo doesn't support Windows 7, so I may have to upgrade it before switching to Windows 7 which could take a while.


HELP PLZ!!!

yes you can use a 64bit OS later. what do you mean your current mobo doesnt support windows 7? I've never heard of that.

there are no drivers for windows 7, and I don't think those components will install themselves on windows 7 Ultimate...

OR WILL THEY?

Vista drivers usually work in a pinch.
