| 338753 | 2005-03-28 04:06:00 | Hey, I have a problem and i've done everything to solve it but with no success. I have 3 HD, the biggest have 120gb, no problem. But now, I have a 200gb HD and the board just don't detect it, sometimes detects but what apears on the bios is not the name but a lot of strange symbols instead of the name. I tried it as Master and slave. I update the bios to the newest version, Jan-2001, but the problem still remains. The board is a Tyan Tiger 100 (S1832DL). Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks :) |

| 338754 | 2005-03-28 04:13:00 | Is this a 120gb IDE or SATA?? The motherboard might be a bit old to support 200gb. What version of Windows are you using?? |

Two UltraDMA/33 EIDE Ports. Its listed on their site under "archived" products and I couldn't find a BIOS update so I think trying to get a 200Gb to run on it may be pushing it a bit......... |

| 338756 | 2005-03-28 13:54:00 | I'm using Windows XP. It's IDE. Isn't there any solution...? If i put partitions in the disk, the result is the same? |

| 338757 | 2005-03-28 14:58:00 | Have a look at this (homepage.ntlworld.com) Sounds like you will need to either get a PCI card to use as an IDE controller or install an overlay on the drive (which the disc vendor will have software for). |

How interesting. Didn't know about XP and Fat32. I have a 69Gb partition Fat32. On the other hand I probably did set it up b4 XP. How dumb too, I thought Mr Gates should know better than to impose limits after the 640kb business. |
