Re: HDD help: SATA HDD to IDE motherboard

That's right - how did that happen?

The latest BIOS for your computer is from 2003 - but it doesn't say if it supports 48-bit LBA (HDDs larger than 128GB).

A way around that (possible) limitation would be to get one, or more, 120GB HDDs (that would be faster too).

A controller card will bypass a LBA limit in BIOS as well.
