W2K AND 200 G HDD

[nicholas]

How can I fdisk and format my new 200G hard drive in W2K?
Must i partition it?
I don't care if it is partitioned, just want to use the entire 200G in one form or another.

If this the is disk that you want to install W2K on, boot up with the
W2K installation CD and create a partition up to 128GB (that's the
limit the installation program allows) for W2K. After installation is
completed, install SP3 or SP4 and create EnableBigLba in the registry.
Then run W2K's Disk Management program to create another partition
with the rest of the drive.
