Windows 2000 what is the limit on hard drive size support for windows 2k server sp4

[mickey]

I'm in the hurricane affected area of La. and my main PC is dead. I want to
move the 350 gig hard drive to an older win2k sp4 machine. Will win 2k sp4
"see" this size drive?
Thanks

Make sure that you apply the registry fix before you move the disk.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters

Value name: EnableBigLba
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 0x1

John - I've added the DWord to the path you instructed. This is what I see
from my regedit is :
Name Value name: Enable BigLba
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x00000001 (1)

Is this correct?
