Need P4C800-E BIOS settings to enable 48-bit LBA with Windows 2000

Would like advice on the correct BIOS settings for enabling 48-bit
Logical Block Addressing in order to run a >137gb hard drive with
Windows 2000 SP4.

The OS is installed on a 200gb WD Caviar IDE drive, and have recently
learned (the hard way) of the 137gb limitation inherent with W2K, even
with SP4.

[For those who don't but need to know, in order to run partitions
greater than 137gb in Windows 2000, a manual "EnableBigLba" regedt32
fix is required IN ADDITION to having SP3 or 4 installed. The fix is
described in MS-KB article 303013.]

Having made this regedt fix, I now want to ensure my BIOS settings are
correct. Have been through the ASUS manual, but find it less than
fully descriptive.

[I'm assuming that the P4C800-E's BIOS is 48-bit compatible, If it's
not, please advise!]

Recently performed a BIOS flash using the latest version posted on the
ASUS website (AMIBIOS 08.00.09, 06/20/05, P4CED106), so the settings
may need adjusting. Can knowledgeable sorts out there review my
current settings (posted below) and advise if I'm on the right track?

I'm particularly interested in whether the 32-bit Data Transfer
setting should be enable or disabled (it defaulted to Disabled after
the BIOS flash; I enabled it, per Shmat's advice on a much earlier
post here).
