i remember that in old pc's, there used to be a bios limitation on how big the hd's could be.

my old compaq would only see up to a 16 gb and i added a 30gb one.

but, hd's come with software that helps u get past this limitation (like maxblast for maxtor).

again, i dont know if this applies to newer bioses.
