Adding New Large Drive To Older System
All I want to do is transfer all the files, data and settings (actually make an exact copy of the partition) from the small drive to the large one. So far, I have tried... ...using Partition Magic 7, to duplicate the partition onto the large drive. It did the duplication perfectly, (yes, I did make the partition a

This BIOS does see large drives. How large is the drive that you are using with the 1A6 BIOS? I've been told that it and many Award 4.5x BIOSes have a limit of around 32-33GB, but I can't test this because my largest drive is smaller than this. **** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.newsfeeds.com

Dos 5 and large disks
(according to maxtor themselves) So, is there a program or easy way to write a whole load of (worthless!) data to the disk and verify the reading of it? I'd rather not find out about the large drive enabler software having failed by losing real data at the 137gig mark some time in the future! thanks alex just right

Even though he can see the entire 80GB he should partition the drive into at least two logical drives.

B. Joshua Rosen bjro...@polybus.com comp os linux hardware That system is so old that you might not not be able to get a BIOS that can handle a large drive.

Scandisk versus Large drives under DOS
A second Fujitsu HD from another machine performed exactly the same, so he now has 2 'faulty' drives. Has anyone else seen this problem?

You can also borrow another hard disk, install it temporarily and install a temporary copy of NT into it, or you can remove your large drive and put it into another NT machine temporarily.

Large Drive Support
There are two basic requirements for Windows XP to recognize the full capacity of large-capacity hard drives, ie, hard disks having a capacity greater than 137 GB... 1. Your mainboard's BIOS must support large-capacity disks, and, 2. The XP operating system must contain SP1 and/or SP2 at the time the large-capacity

I got 2 IBM 37G drives mounted and (seemingly) happy. Before I get started, a good accounting of this PC idiocy can be found in the Linux Howto on large disks (http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Large-Disk.html). One would have thought that they would have learned after 32MB/528MB/2.1G/4.2G/8.4/8.5/34G,

(Ref: Large-Disk mini HOWTO and my own experience.) kernel v2.2.0 and higher are OK in this regard. fdisk gets part of its info from the kernel and part directly from the drive. fdisk v2.8 (shipped with RH5.2) gets confused with LBA large drives. fdisk v2.9i fixes the problem.

Is it possible to install an Ultra ATA/100 drive into a somewhat aging HP Pavilion 7335 MMX machine? (Pentium 166 Mhz) I'm thinking of a Quantum (now Maxtor) Fireball AS 40GB 7200 RPM drive. The HP 7335's BIOS is an 'American Megatrends' which does support 'LBA' - apparently crucial for large drive support.

It's pretty easy for the disk writing to go wrong and it start damaging random files all over the drive. (Yes, I've had it happen!) For those, you are better off staying with FAT32. Now, having said that, the FAT32 that are on those big drives are not regular FAT32. XP can't format a large drive as FAT32 (I don't
