The following tip was submitted to us by another user: One other way to get a Windows 2000 install to work with a larger drive is to kind of trick it. Install it on a smaller drive, patch it, enable the 48bit LBA support, and then use Norton Ghost to copy the drive image from the smaller drive to the 300GB (or whatever) drive. This is handy if you have a drive image program but not a drive partition program. Once it gets copied over to the new drive, it will see all 300 GB as the main drive.
