large hard drive

[Guest]

When you do the 48bit thing does this have to be done before you install
windows or can you do it after it's installed?

Since it modifies the registry it is after.

Also, does the BIOS correctly identify the larger drive?

Will you need 64bit LBA if you don't store VIDEO?
The 64bit thing on CPU is about the calendar, not related to disk space.

You must have 48-bit LBA ON to see drives larger than 137Gb.
