This is not just another variant of Loew's "High Capacity Disk Patch" because 1] It's completely free (and of course, has no guarantee) 2] Addressing to 2048Gb is possible (limit of FAT32) 4] LBA-48 commands implemented in separate routines instead of "patched into" existing 28-bit's code 5] Slightly increased performance over Loew's patch due to [4] If Enable48BitLBA has worked for you, please post a link to a validation image containing the following: 1. Properties page of a drive filled past 137Gb 2. Information dialog, the results of a successful scandisk on the drive 3. System Properties -> Device Manager -> (your IDE controller) Properties -> Driver -> Driver File Details (must show ESDI_506.PDR being used) Also specify your hardware (in particular, mobo chipset and HDD specs). This will help to confirm that it works. Reference: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=46752 QUOTE However, this current version may cause data corruption on _some_ drives w/ 48-bit LBA!!! So be extremely careful!!! I am not responsible for any damage caused by the use of these drivers.
