Hello,

I have new Dell Dimension 2400. I just add new 200GB hard
disk, but my windows 2000 only can see 128GB. How can I
enable LBA48 in Windows 2000?

Thanks

Go to Dell.Com and see if there is updated BIOS for the Dell Dim. 2400.

This is new DEll, from BIOS can see 200GB hard disk, not
in Windows 2000.

Sorry, your post didn't say the BIOS already recognized the disk.

You apparently are NOT keeping up to date. Install Windows 2000 SP4.

After you install SP4. I highly suggest you install *all* MS Critical Updates.

Most notably, the patch for the RPC/RPCSS Buffer Overflow Vulnerability that is addressed by
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-39 - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=824146
