I'm not sure if Windows 2000 supports the new 48-bit LBA addressing scheme. Without it, you are limited to 36-bit LBA, which means the maximum capacity that the OS can use is 137 GB. It may help you to slipstream Service Pack 4 into your Windows 2000 setup CD.

Correct - SP4 required for Win2K to break the 137gb barrier. You can use Partition Magic after the fact to expand the partition.
