Cause: This can have two causes.

First, you must have a BIOS on your motherboard that fully supports 48-bit
LBA mode. Check with manufacturer's website.

Second, by default the 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA) support for
ATAPI disk drives is not enabled in Windows XP Pro or Home (as described in
this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q303013)

Check your Atapi.sys driver to make sure it's 5.1.2600.1135 or later
