testing that a large drive works all the way!
The place to look is with the bios flashes, see if they say anything about support for large hard drives. HP usually does list that sort of thing. Well this computer is pretty old. The only bios updates didn't refer to drive size limitations. True, tho you would expect an update if it had a problem with drives over

7Gig partition shows only 2Gig even w/ large drive support
So, somewhere between the K7S5A, Win2k, and large drives (somewhere larger than 80G), there are problems. I've put the 80G back in for now. I'll use the 100G in the external USB case and use it for backup. If I find a fix for the BSOD somewhere down the road, I can always switch them. Thanks for all the thoughts

Incidently, keeping your OS files restricted to the fastest 8 or 10GB of a large drive also helps performance as well as ease maintainance jobs such as defrag. HTH -- Regards, John. Please remove the "ohggcyht" before replying. The address has been munged to reject Spam-bots.

Can't Move Large Video File (5.24GB) to External Drive
It was a single disk system with 98SE and NT in separate partions (10GB drive, 400MHz 128 MRAM, no name kind of thing). In a too long and complicated story I tried to add a large disk (30Gb) and ended up with a non-working WIN98 system. I brought the computer back to the guy who made it in the first place and we

HP Pavilion 7335 & Large Hard Drive
It fdisks, but will only give me a 500MB partition, claiming that is all the space there is, and then when it installs and reboots it just hangs. I know the motherboard is fine with the large drive as I've use this combo for other OSs. Can Dos 5 work with this large drive? Will Dos 6 solve the problem?

Time to defrag a large drive
When partitioning a large drive (80 gigabyte) are there any principles to apply to ensure optimum performance for a general file system (ie not a file system consisting of large A/V files)? In particular, I'm thinking about partition sizes that are regular multiples of standard base units.

Large drive problem with 2.0.36
Here are my questions: 1. Would a Controller card be worthwhile with an ISA MB? 2. If I install the 1.6G as master and partition it with partitions <528MB, would I still have to use a disk drive overlay like EZ drive (I'm sure my system BIOS does not have large drive support)? -- Russ Valentine russ...@iquest.net.

Large Drive Partitions
You might want to reformat that to NTFS so you can hold large files. (FAT32 is limited to 2gig.) Try 4GB and you'd be correct. <snip> Now, having said that, the FAT32 that are on those big drives are not regular FAT32. Of course they are. XP can't format a large drive as FAT32 (I don't know about Vista).
