3 ways to tackle this:
- sc remoteMachine stop beep && sc remoteMachine config beep start= disabled
- sc stop beep && sc config beep start= disabled
- Net Stop Beep && Reg Add HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesBeep /v Start /d 4 /t REG_DWORD /f

Silly me, didn’t realise that NTFS had a limit of 2TB partitions (This is why you research.).
I have a Dell Poweredge DP500 with 6x 1TB disks.
My options:
Go Linux - not at this point in time. Though I seriously considered it.
Use GPT partitions (System drive cannot be a GPT drive, hence I lose some drives still)
What I ended up opting for was:
1x RAID 1 array for OS - 1TB
1x RAID 5 array for data - 3TB (Converted the disk to GPT)
So I lose 2 drives to redundancy in this config instead of the 1 I would have liked.
Ideally what needs to happen is:
- Manufacturers (maybe some do) to support EFI firmwares so we can boot GPT partitions.
- For them to make it well known that there is a limit when buying these items and configs.
*Update: Been told Server 2008 and Vista don’t have this problem but I don’t have licenses for those yet.

To restore the Windows Zip file integration quickly, type this command from Start, Run dialog:
REGSVR32 ZIPFLDR.DLL
If that does not help, another command is required to change the .ZIP association. Type in Start, Run:
cmd /c assoc .zip=CompressedFolder
