You'd likely be able to read one 2tb partition on the drive under XP if the
sata controller itself supports drives over 2tb (if not it just won't show up
at all), but to partition anything over 2tb on a drive you need to use GPT
instead of MBR formatting, and the earliest OS that will read a GPT/GUID drive
is Vista on the consumer side, and Server 2008 on the Enterprise side.

Hope that helps!
