Actually, it says in the bios:
CHS capacity 8422 mb
max LBA capacity 20496 mb
Can anyone please advise what I need to do to have the whole drive
size recognized?
I also wanted to install an 80 gig hard drive on the system, but I'm
holding off until I get this problem resolved.
Thanks for any help.

in the Main window of the bios setup you'll see
| Quote: | Primary Master [Auto] <-- actual setting to change
Primary Slave [Auto]
and so on |
what you need to do is set it to AUTO for ALL Drives connected to the
motherboards controllers
or if you want, highlight the drive in which you want to change the
settings for, hit enter and change it to LBA or Auto
that should give you 20GB instead of 8GB
since the max reading for lba on your motherboard says 20496 for the 20gb
drive you're having problems with.

Attachments are only welcome in "binaries" groups. Including
large blocks of data in a text-only newsgroup like this one is an
abuse that will get it kicked off many servers that we all depend
on to read this newsgroup. Please don't jeopardize wide distribution
of this newsgroup.
Direct links are always welcome. They give the reader the option
whether to follow it or not. Quite valuable to those of us who are
still on slow dial-up connections. |
