Re: W2K SP4 on P133 FTP

Thanks for the reply, ur a good m8

BIOS recognises the HDD as a max of 8GB - thats fine,
thats what u expect on old systems, HOWEVER WD EZ BIOS is
installed so the drive is seen as to the full capacity in
Windows.

If you are suggesting that this is the problem - then i
understand BUT...dont u think that this would have
happened when I was installing Windows 2000 PRO? (no SP)
and what about if I was installing from a slipstreamed CD
with SP4 in it, don't you think that it would be going
through no problems? :-s

What you have said maybe correct about the BIOS problem,
could may well be the problem but this issue would have
occured when Windows 2000 PRO was installing..would it
not?

Could also be that this issue occurs after SP's because it
updates Windows (duh) and has better code/more solid code.

How can we over come this problem then?
