I have bought a new 5TB Seagate Basic external drive.

I understand how to use +2TB drives on Windows 2000 & XP.
https://msfn.org/board/topic/176480-2-tib-limit-size-in-mbr-hard-drives/
When I plug in the drive it is not recognized by Windows disk manager.
So I have connected the drive on Windows 10 and converted the drive from GPT to MBR.
The first thing that surprises me is that MiniTool Partition Wizard and EASEUS Partition Master won't let me partition larger than 2TB on MBR.
So I make an NTFS partition less than 2TB, leave the rest of the drive unpartitioned, and plug the drive into Windows XP.
But the drive letter is still not recognized on Windows XP.
In file explorer the drive does not appear.
It doesn't show up in disk management either (on windows 2000 it shows up but says unreadable).
In device manager the drive is perfectly installed.
On eject hardware the drive appears.
If I try to assign a drive letter with Partition Wizard it doesn't work and also tells me that the size is only 2Tb, instead of 5TB.
Is the Seagate box Windows XP or NT5 incompatible?
