Re: Partition Magic 8.01 and HDD larger than 137 GB
Problem solved )
Actually I did 2 things, but I think it was the latest one.
First I used Seagates Drisktool
2 write 0's 2 the HDD. (Didn't have patience 2 more than 10 min cause it
did not even reach 1 %)
Secondly I updated Intel Applikation Accelerator.
Began reading about this appl. And what do u know...... This appl did alot
more than I thought. It acts as some kinda filter/translator/driver between
the OS and the Controller.
Anyway it worked !!! )
