Hello again,

I just downloaded win2000 sp4 from Microsoft. There were different
versions. I got the one which was 100mb ish. I don't know how I would
have managed without adsl! I have installed this, although I was using
the automatic windows update, so I should have been up-tp-date anyway,
I thought.

The bios is the latest and I checked, it is definitely reporting 160gb
disk; the problems start once Windows loads.

The program has added the string to my registry, it is in:
hkey_local_machine\system\services\atapi\parameters

and it says:
EnableBigLba: REG_DWORD: 0x1

Can you spot anything wrong?

PM8 still saying 131069MB and no free space.

Thanks.
