Check if your BIOS recognises the full disk capacity and if the EnableBigLBA
key is in place.

Start/run/regedit
(if unsure export registry for safety)
select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
navigate to system/services/atapi/parameters or
system/currentcontrolset/services/atapi/parameters
right click for new
Select Dword name it EnableBigLba (take note of case)
set value to 1
end regedit
reboot

No the BIOS doesn't recognize that. I had run that hotfix on an Old Pentium
I and it can see over the limit. I just forgot to do it here.

Thanks man. You know with SP3 I checked in the Registry as you said
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?SYSTEM?CurrentControlSet?Services?atapi?Parameters) and
the darm entry isn't there. Jeeze!

Of course it is not there that is why I wrote "right click for new" now you have
a new entry into which you place the instructions.

I assure you it works - somehow I get to do it at least 1 per month for someone.
