HD woes...

[Dragon]

You may have to update your BIOS. Most BIOSs/OSs (Windows
in particular) will not reconginize HDs that are larger
than 137GB. Smaller large capacity drives however only
register at 32, 64, and 128GB. Either you'll need to
update your motherboards BIOS to support ultra ata or the
drive you just installed.
