Did you read all that? Did you try it? The 137 GB issue is a "native" problem in windows. Only XP 64 and Vista have it right. Does the "Hot Fix" resolve this in Windows 2000? How would you know if it does or does not? References outside MS say the problem is bigger that what MS will admit to. It is not just a tweak in the code.
Here is the Seagate document:

Heres is a quote
"See also the support.microsoft.com Knowledgebase articles that explain how to enable large drive support after the Service Packs are installed."

Which could mean that the SP itself does not turn it ON!
