Windows 2000 Detecting Wrong Hard Drive Size

[randumb]

I got a new 200GB Western Digital 7200RPM 8MB Cache drive (WD2000JB), and I just set it up as my primary drive. I started the install for Windows 2000 on NTFS, and as it was formatting it, I realized it only detected it as 131GB, not 200GB. Why is it doing this?

In addition to what is stated in the above thread you need a hard drive controller that supports 48-bit LBA.
