    Hi, everyone.
    I’m trying to install W2K Pro, on a new SATA 300 GB HDD but it seems that windows only recognise 120 GB. I don’t have a hardware problem and in XP works just fine.
    It is possible that W2K (32 bits) can’t count that amount of Gigs?
    The HDD is a Maxtor 6L300SO

    You'll need Windows 2000 Professional SP3 or higher. Older versions have a 137GB Capacity Barrier (as does Windows XP prior to SP1).
