This Prepatched Cabinet File replaces the corresponding Cabinet file on
the Windows ME Installation CD. Installing Windows from the modified CD
or Image will automatically Install the Patched Port Driver required to
provide direct support for Hard Drives larger than 137GB without requiring a
controller card or the Intel Application Accelerator which can only be used
with some Intel Chipset Motherboards.

This Cabinet file is intended to be used with the High Capacity Disk Patch
Package.
