1. Install the operating system patch first: for users of Win2000, install the SP4 patch. WinXP users, with the patch of SP 1, should actually check the version of Atapi.sys even with the patch of SP 1, because only version 5.1.2600.1135 can fully support 48-bit LBA.
2. Manually edit the registry (if not, please refer to the relevant registry editing information), as shown below:
Type regedit in "Start → Run", and create a DWORD named EnableBigLba under the parameters of HKEY _ local _ machine \ system \ current control set \ service \ atapi \ and fill in 1 Just restart the machine after modification.
* What should I do when WINDOWS2000 can't recognize all the big hard disks * (/article/technical/reliable/59.html)
Because there is no hard disk acceleration program in the motherboard driver of INTER motherboard 848 chipset series and its higher series, the products of 848 and its higher series will not recognize large hard disks above 120G (excluding 120G). We need to solve it through the following methods.
1. First, install WINDOWS2000 SP4 patch or later.
2. After the installation is completed, please do the following: Open Run under the Start menu and enter "REGEDIT" in it. After opening the registry editor, we will find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and click the+on the left to see a directory tree. According to this operation, we will eventually find:
HKEY _ LOCAL _ MACHINE \ SYYTEM \ current control set \ Services \ Atapi \ Parameters \
After finding it, click the right mouse button in this directory to create a "double-byte value" named "EnableBigLba". Double-click the value of this created file and fill in "1".
that is
Value name: EnableBigLba
Data type: REG_DWORD
Numerical data: 0x 1
This is the modification method of WINDOWS2000 Professional Edition.
After the operation is completed, you can recognize this big hard disk by restarting the computer.
