Windows 2000 Disk Larger than 128GB

September 4, 2004

I am going to assume your hardware supports the drive size you are using. By default, Windows 2000 does not. If your drive is larger that 128GB it will simply recognize it as a 128GB hard drive. To fix this, simply add the following registry key.

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters\EnableBigLba

It's a DWORD registry value so just create it and set it to 1 and restart. Everything should be set.
