XP SP1 & HD > 137GB problem

[Stuntgp2000]

Is there any way to make Windows XP SP1 detects HD over 137GB ?

Because my new 200GB HD don't get entirly recognized by Windows XP SP1.

Thanks in advance

Here you go:

this worked for me.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Parameters]

"EnableBigLba"=dword:00000001

:s Over here Windows XP SP1 detects my 160 GB HDD (~150GB real) without any problems or modifications...

There shouldn't be any problems with XP... Maybe your BIOS has to be updated!

windows xp SP1 should support this already

I also think this would be the problem.

My BIOS did support it, but my Windows XP SP1 didn't.

Only after editing the registry, I got the full 160GB.

windows supports it .. just dont have it enabled in the regristry... id really like to see an installer hack that would let you install windows on a >137GB harddrive
