Windows 7 has some limits involving what it can see over 2TB on a single drive based on partitioning methods. I am not aware of any limit of hard drives under Windows 7 specifically.

What is meat by partitioning?

It means to make a single Hard Drive into many. When you buy any hard drive it is used normally as one partition. After you format it you can change the partitioning into different sizes you want. You can make a 500 gig hd into five 100gig partitions (it would show up as 5 different hd icons) or two 250 gig partitions, (it would show up as 2 hard drives) etc. The down fall of having partitions is if the hard drive died ALL the partitions die with it. The partitions are still part of ONE hard drive.
