Large Hard Drive in Older Computer
If I remove the 12.7GB and put back the 4GB, everything is fine. If I leave in the 12.7GB and remove either the 4GB or 6GB, everything is fine. Just can't seem to have the large drive with two smaller drives and cdrom together. All drives are FAT32, single partition. All drives are Quantum Fireballs. Any clues?

Problems with installing NT on large IDE drives
You can get a controller card for advanced EIDE like the promise or you can upgrade your BIOS (if it is available) or you can get a new motherboard with proper bios (all new boards do) or you can use the install software that always comes with large drives that uses software to handle the large drive.

Also, if your hard drive is larger than 8 Gb, you will first need to obtain the WinNT SP4 version of ATAPI.SYS to enable WinNT to properly recognize your large hard drive.

I have a 20 gig drive. Big in its day but now relatively small. I have seen drives advertised for up to 300. Some might exceed even this. It takes me about one or two hours to defrag my 20 gig drive. I was wondering how long it could take to defrag a very large drive. Based on my experiences, it would seem that you

Which external hard drive?
You can install and use the disk drive manager software that ships with the drive. This is not the preferred solution, but does tend to work. You can buy a PCI IDE card. This will give you not only the ability to support large drives, but UDMA-4 support as well. You could also upgrade your motherboard.

Can't Move Large Video File (5.24GB) to External Drive

When FORMAT starts, it will recognize the large hard drive (even though your first partition is not going to be all that large) and ask you if you want to enable "large drive support". You'll reply "yes", so as to slip into FAT32 mode. And then the FORMAT you request will format that first partition as FAT32.
