Hi there,
I've read the wealth of posts and articles about using Windows 2000 with
disks larger than 137Gb. I don't seem to be able to find a concrete answer to
this question though:
Does a clean Windows 2000 SP4 install enable 48-bit LBA by default?
For example, I have a 160Gb hard drive and a win2k cd that includes SP4.
Assuming my motherboard BIOS supports 48-bit LBA, when I install windows will
48-bit LBA be supported WITHOUT me having to do anything? (Like the registry
fix)
Thanks in advance for a definitive answer microsoft! (Or anyone else!)
Regards
Tom
