re: Installing win2k on new hd Tuesday, July 15, 2008 at 9:17 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by geek9pm (1030 messages posted) Did you say it was a IDE drive? There is information on the Seagate site about Windows 2000 and some versions of XP for drives over 137 GB. Or just go to this site: http://www.48bitlba.com/win2k.htm Basically, you must create a single parttion under the '137GB' limit. Then install from the CD. Then do DP-4. Next ix the 48 bit thing and create more partitions. DO NOT create any partitions above the 137GB until you have the 48 bit thing fixed. This is a well documented problem and much of the @#$% has to do with how Microsoft was slow to fix this. There are several posts on this forum about the 48 LBA issue.
