Hot fix for hard disk bigger than 128GB

Backup Registry.

In registry go for

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/atapi/parameters

Add new EnableBigLba as a Doubleword. you will now have a
0x00000000(0)

Right click the EnableBigLba and choose Modify and put in a 1

It should now look like EnableBigLba REG_DWORD 0x00000001(1)

Apparently you should spell it right and use the correct upper and
lower cases
Now reboot

For your information, my stats are:
