For "Bob I" regarding large drives...

[Guest]

I'm up against the same problem as was discussed
yesterday. I have modified the registry, per MKB 305098
to enable 48 bit addressing, restarted the computer, and
disk manager still shows my 180GB drive as 128GB. My
BIOS does show the full capacity of the drive. Did MKB
305098 leave out some additional step you have to take to
make it see the extra space after you've enabled 48 bit
addressing? Thanks.

Did you install Intel application accelerator?

No, I'm not familiar with that? Will it solve my
problem? Thanks.

You also need SP3 or SP4

problem? Thanks.
