Just completed test install: quad core 8 gig of ram terabyte drives ... Its up and running! Thanks again for the help!

Grazie jaclaz I will do my best to revisit my dos commands from 15-20 years past lol.

Bad link with the blown up "new" formun layout I get the start page. This will fix the hiv file in my install cd? Thats what I need to be able to run the windows install & find drives bigger than 130 gig. Not a registry fix AFTER its running thanks.

What I need is patched SETUPREG.HIV for advanced server. The above supplied file does work HOWEVER it blows up the advanced server install and turns it into ordinary server edition after its running, losing the larger ram support ect ... If such a file exsists can I get a copy purty please?
