When following Microsoft's instructions on how to enable large hard drives in W2k Pro SP4,
everything goes fine until I try to type the letter "x" into the registry. The full data entry is "0x1"
without the quotes. It will not accept the "x".
How can I type the "x" into the registry?

Here are the instructions;
To enable 48-bit LBA large-disk support in the registry:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value name: EnableBigLba
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 0x1
4. Quit Registry Editor.
