If your drive is greater than 33.8 Gbytes, your system BIOS may freeze or lockup at Power On Self Test (POST) or it may show the wrong capacity for the drive. Similar to other BIOS capacity limits, there are three methods to overcome this limitation:

• A third party device driver such as DiscWizard Starter Edition. (Note: this version of DiscWizard Starter Edition can also be used to overcome the FDISK reporting problem for partitions over 68.7 Gbytes)



• An intelligent ATA Host Adapter (e.g., Promise Technology)



• A system BIOS upgrade (contact the system BIOS manufacturer)

Reminder: If the system BIOS can display the full capacity of your drive, a FAT32 file allocation system (i.e., Win95 OSR2, Win98, WinMe) or an NTFS file allocation system (e.g., WinNT) is required to show partition sizes over 2.1 Gbytes.
