Re: Can't install Win 2000 on my computer

I did what was suggested here, took out the LedTek card, unplugged the Sata drive, changed my keyboard to ps2 (had to leave the mouse disconnected, didn't have a converter plug).

The installing went as far as getting to choosing the language and setting up the time & date viewing ways. I clicked Apply then it went to the following screen and went no further. Tried 3 times but to no avail, so I'm back on XP again.

LOL, ok now you have lost me, what is enabling 48bit addressing?


Here's the information I have about it:



To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000.



The following conditions are necessary for the correct functioning of 48-bit
LBA ATAPI support:

.

A computer with a 48-bit LBA-compatible Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)
installed.

.

A computer with a hard disk that has a capacity of greater than 137 gigabytes
(GB).

.

You must enable the support in the Windows registry by adding or changing the
EnableBigLba registry value to 1 in the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Parameters

To enable 48-bit LBA large-disk support in the registry:

1.

Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

2.

Locate and then click the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters

3.

On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:

Value name: EnableBigLba

Data type: REG_DWORD

Value data: 0x1

4.

Quit Registry Editor.
