I have searched the Net for a definitive answer to this question, no luck, so here it is:
I have a system BIOS which does not and never will support 48 bit LBA (IDE HDD > 137Gb), however I have a 200Gb HDD I would like to install.
If I update Win2K to address 48 bit, and purchase a 48 bit ATA controller card, will Win2K recognize the full capacity of a 200Gb HDD after boot-up?
Thanks in advance.

No worries,
I modified the registry and the full drive capacity was recognized.
