A growing problem, given the capacity of the HD market (140-200 Gb) is that Windows 2000 and Windows XP can not format or in part can format up to 128 Giga (137.43 Gb exact).
Microsoft has made available a comprehensive article on the subject and on how to fix it for XP SP1/SP2.
"Enabling Support for Logical Block Addressing 48-bit for ATAPI disk drives in Windows XP"
The trick is to add or change the value of the REG_DWORD entry EnableBigLba to " 1" in the following registry key (Start>> Run>> regedit -> OK):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ System \\ CurrentControlSet \\ Services \\ Atapi \\ Parameters \\
To enable 48-bit LBA support is necessary: \u200b\u200b
• BIOS compatible with 48-bit LBA
greater than 137 GB HD •
• Windows XP (SP1 min)
