You might need to check the BIOS release notes. http://web.archive.org/web/200406041...hdd/index.aspx It could be up to 128GB, based on this old FAQ: http://www.asuscom.de/support/FAQ/fa...gb_ide_hdd.htm This would appear to be a model that has "fallen through the cracks". Hard to say what the limit is. The BIOS release notes are not available for all BIOS releases, so if support for big disks was added in a no-longer-documented release, we'll never know it. You could try a Promise Ultra133 TX2 card and run the disks off that. That should handle a big disk. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16816102027 Sorry, Paul |

My CUV4X (non -D) supports up to 128GB with BIOS revision 1009. I've tried
a 160GB and the BIOS only recognizes the first 128GB. I'd assume the -D BIOS of the same or later vintage would have the same characteristics. "Paul" wrote in message ...
