hi all

i'm thinking of adding a 2nd hard drive to my system. i'm looking @ getting a 250GB WD one - just normal ATA100, not SATA...

atm i have a GA-8I848E-L (gigabyte motherboard) and i'm not sure if my WinXP-SP2 will actually be able to 'see' all the 250GB of the hard drive cos i've read something about the bios needing to be 46-bit LAC or something? is anybody able to shed some light on this please?

thanks in advance
 
It should work ok. The ~150 gig limitation was in Windows not bios and one of the SP1 updates fixed it. SP2 will support the 250 gig drive.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
