It seems Vista SP1 32-bit partmgr.sys and disk.sys should be backported for Win2000.

XP32 ones has 2 TB limit and can corrupt data above 1 TB written. Buıt Vista SP1 32-bit ones don't have 2 TB limit and no corruption (not 100% sure but I didn't hear any corruption from anyone).
 

Good info, if you manage to port it and get it working, please report.

so just using the right paragon driver solved it up ? thats good news that the /pae question related to that problem would be finally closed

@Andalu is referring to file corruption on his system due to the PAE driver and the GPT loader.
The correct version of the GPT loader refers to the fact that without the PAE driver, other versions of the Paragon loader also cause file corruption above 2 TiB.

At this time, there is no known PAE driver that will not cause corruption above 2 TiB with any version of Paragon GPT Loader.
