I believe you need a LBA48 (48 bits addressing) capable
disk controller to install a 200gig HD. It's a hardware
issue.

That is true, you will need to see if your system has that
capability. The newer motherboards do come with a
controller that support it on-board. How old is your
motherboard, and the fact that windows see's it at all
possibly means your board has the 48bit already.
