[ale] Hard drive blues

Hi Stephen,

If you have the Award biod 4.51, you can't use anything above 32 Gig.
It is a lot of hassles to circumvent the bios problems.

well i got this wonderful 40 gig 7200 rpm as said in a previous post. my
issue is while i can install ezbios (i suspect a mbr add on to allow the
full 40 gigs to show and be able to read this hard disk) i cant get bios to
boot the disk, i tried once before to update my bios but the award bios said
i was updated. in any case i wish to dual boot this baby for linux and
windoze but i cant get it to be read as s sinle, however i can get it read
if another harddrive boots an os, and the western digital floppy sees it
reguardless what bios says, what should i do? i would return it for a maxtor
however this disk is older than a month now and i do not have the box  (was
using another hard disk for os's which booted the 40) any help? i checked
out the wd site and didnt get any sucess with thier jumper settings. any
help would be greatly appreciated!
