Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and earlier versions of Windows

defined in the ATA/ATAPI 6.0 specification.
To use 48-bit LBA, your BIOS must be 48-bit LBA-compatible (which
is likely since your BIOS read 203GB). You will also need to enable
the support in the Windows registry by adding or changing the
[b]EnableBigLba registry value to 1 in
the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Parameters
This is especially important if you are sing a registry tweaking
