W2KSP4 and large disks; how many ways are there to screw up?

Does a vanilla W2KSP4 need any hacks to be able to use a disk larger
than 128k?

How do I check an existing SP4 system to make sure that it is set up
correctly?

This is for a non-system drive.

You also have to EnableBigLba in the registry:
