| 212045 | 2004-02-01 05:51:00 | Help. Trying to make a file server, and want to use only 2 120GB hard disks. Have updated the bios, and it reacognizes the disks, but when i install win2k on the 120gb disk it wont load. It gets past the splash screen then rebooots. I have put a 6gb disk in with win2k on it, and that loads fine, as well as loading up the 2 120 disks, but want to get rid of the 6gb. Why would win2k not load on the 12o disk? | sjbryce (2129) | ||
| 212046 | 2004-02-01 06:07:00 | Are the two 120 Gig disks formatted as NTFS or FAT32? Have the two 120 Gig drives each have more than one partition? | Elephant (599) | ||
| 212047 | 2004-02-01 06:29:00 | They are both formatted as NTFS, and are broken down into partions or about 30 odd GB......Not too sure on the file format of the 6GB, think that is NTFS too | sjbryce (2129) | ||
| 212048 | 2004-02-01 06:50:00 | Maybe try installing it onto a partition < 10Gb. | PoWa (203) | ||
| 212049 | 2004-02-01 07:37:00 | Yup tryed that, win2k is installed onto a partion of 2 gb...hmm any other ideas? | sjbryce (2129) | ||
| 212050 | 2004-02-01 08:40:00 | whats the biggest sized disk the motherboard can use? just because it reconnises the disks dosn't mean it will be able to use it. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 212051 | 2004-02-01 09:47:00 | In bios it says 65550...ie 65 gb i think...but in windows it reacongizes all the partions, adding up tro 120gb | sjbryce (2129) | ||
| 212052 | 2004-02-03 01:58:00 | Agree with tweak'e, especially if ur motherboard is like a couple of yrs old. I have that problem once, it was able to reconise the full size in the bios but i wasnt able to use it. Have to endup taking back to the shop and swap for a smaller one. | Blue_face (1148) | ||
| 212053 | 2004-02-03 02:15:00 | Installing a good Linux distro should make good use of that hardware ;). It doesn't rely on Bios limitations like MS Windows does. | mark.p (383) | ||
| 212054 | 2004-02-03 02:46:00 | If the bios doesn't support it and you want to use "doze" using dynamic drive overlay software-should have come with the hdd - www.storagereview.com should give you full access ok. Or a add-on card that does the drive translation for you. www.storagereview.com Or use Linux........ |
