Re: sevice pack 4 hard drive limit

thanks for the reply, i did the "add value" thing in the registry that was
on that site and still window is not reading full capacity of drive. i have
a SATA hard drive does that make any difference? im not sure what a ATAPI
disk drive is, if it applies to the SATA ones as well.

with so many HD that are over 137Gig you think this would be just plug and
play.

also when i went into the BIOS i there was a settign beside my HD that was
set on "auto" detect, i changed that to "LBA" i dont know if thats somethign
i should have done or not...


thanks
