Most Likely 127GB. I do not believe 5800s IDE controller had the necessary
48-bit LBA addressing to go any larger. HH "TT" wrote in message . 10.15... Hi, What's the maximum size for a hard drive in Presario 5838? Thanks TT |

XP doesn't solve the underlying weakness of the controller hardware.

Nope. If the controller does not support 48-bit LBA, no OS can overcome
that. HH "doS" wrote in message ... What about with XP? "HH" wrote in message ... Most Likely 127GB. I do not believe 5800s IDE controller had the necessary 48-bit LBA addressing to go any larger.
