Windows Only Recognizes 128GB HDD
Posted on 7 September 2006Today when installing 3 units of 200GB HDD in a Windows 2000 PC, I observed that Windows only recognizes 128GB only. After googling for a while, I realized that it currently uses 28-bit LBA instead of 48-bit; which makes it recognizes only 128GB.
I double checked the BIOS. Since I am using Intel Desktop Boards D945GNT, I downloaded the latest BIOS update from Intel website and updated the BIOS. But the problem still persists, Windows only recognizes 128GB only.
Next, I enabled 48-bit LBA Support, by creating a EnableBigLba registry value to 0×1 in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters\ and restarted the system. Voila, it works! Windows recognizes my 200GB HDDs.
Warning: If you enable 48-bit LBA ATAPI support, but your system does not meet the minimum requirements (48-bit LBA-compatible BIOS and HDD that has a capacity of greater than 128GB), you may need to read the warnings in Microsoft Knowledge Base.

(maaf OOT)
ko hian, wa senang sekali sama situsnya koko, artikel-artikel yang dipost selalu berbobot. Dari artikel2 tsb kesan yang saya tangkap bahwa koko mempunyai knowledge yang sangat luas, tidak terbatas disatu bidang saja.
Saya juga udah lama add situs ini ke bookmark explorer saya.
Sebagai seorang “penggemar” saya ingin mengusulkan supaya situs ini dilengkapi dengan forum tanya jawab (atau semacamnya), supaya kita2 bisa menanyakan banyak hal apapun (tidak sebatas hal yang pernah diposting koko saja). atau kita bisa ikutan posting artikel yang berguna ke situs koko.
segitu aja usulnya ya koh, matur nuwun.
salam nyam..nyam nyam…

#1: Koh Ari, terimakasih sekali atas kesan/tanggapannya. Sebenarnya saya masih harus banyak belajar karena masih banyak yang belum saya tahu/kuasai.
Mengenai forum, hiks, mohon maaf karena belum bisa saya penuhi saat ini mengingat forum membutuhkan tambahan sumber daya (baik di webhosting dan terutama pengelolaan day-to-day operation). Bila ingin bertanya, tentu saja bisa “japri” langsung ke saya.
Untuk sumbangan artikel, bisa dikirimkan via e-mail untuk saya pelajari/review. Bilamana cocok, tentu saja dengan senang hati akan saya publish dan tidak lupa mencantumkan nama pengirimnya.
Sekali lagi terimakasih atas masukannya. Salam nyam..nyam juga
