:Those 127 GB drive sizes are a worry, looks like
:you havent actually got 48 bit LBA enabled in 2K.
:
:That would explain the initial loss of a drive, you wrapped
:around once you wrote past the 127G limit and stomped
:on the partition table at the front of the physical drive.
:
:You appear to run the drives pretty empty, which would
:explain why you have only just seen the problem now.

Hmm. What's causing that 127 GB drive size? How can I enable 48 bit LBA
support in Win2000? I have SP4 installed, and I thought it is supposed
to be in effect, automatically. ???
