you talking HD as in high def? If so, I would assume its as high as your vid card/monitor can handle.
If hard drive(ahem, HDD), then
The maximum partition (and disk) size is a function of the operating system version. Windows XP and the original release of Windows Server 2003 have a limit of 2TB per physical disk, including all partitions. For Windows Server 2003 SP1 Windows XP x64 edition, and later versions, the maximum raw partition of 18 exabytes can be supported. (Windows file systems currently are limited to 256 terabytes each.)

NTFS supports hard drives of up to 16 EB. So saying Windows does not support those drive sizes are actually incorrect. (You will just have to increase your cluster size from the default).
The main problem with limiting the amount of hard drive space that can be addressed is actually in the format you are using when configuring the drive. When you go through the setup process, Windows (since Windows 2003 SP1 - therefore on clients since Windows XP SP1 too) allows you to use the GPT format of addressing the disk, rather than the old MBR standard. With this you can have a partition size of 16EB.
Another "cheat" to get past the 2TB if you are using the MBR format, is to set up your hard drives as dynamic disks, and then you extend it to a single volume across the disks - this will also alow you to have major big volumes of more than 2TB each.
Again - if you don't know the techy stuff, stop blaming Windows...
