No (or, rather, not that I know of...), but it makes it rather difficult to 
use the extra space. Especially if there are multiple partitions on the 
disk.  It's possible there are MBR formats on the newer machines that know 
how big the disk is and such, but the original MBR doesn't, assuming you use 
LBA, which most everyone does nowadays.
