Hi,
What is the last compatible gpt_loader.sys file version which still supports Windows XP?
Paragon GPT Loader is only for XP. Any newer Win OS supports GPT natively.
But in 2020 it is not at all recommended to use either of those.
GPT Loader was developped at a time when XP was still widely in use, and it enabled XP to use the "new" 3 TB drives. It kind of faked GPT to use these 3 TB disks with XP.
The development and maintenance of the Paragon GPT Loader has been abandoned long time ago. It was never tested with up-to-date 4 or more TB disks. Anyway it is only for use of GPT drives with XP. While it is only "fake GPT" any exchange of a fake GPT disk with a newer and GPT capable Win OS will fail and vice versa - means: a GPT Loader pimped XP is not able to read/write a disk formatted with real GPT.
So Paragon GPT Loader and XP are children of their time and as such they should be honoured and forgotten.
