1154778 2010-11-20 02:58:00 I'm replacing a failed 40GB HDD in an Acer Travelmate 290.

I got a 160GB Samsung but I am suspicious that the BIOS will have a capacity limit.

Running HDAT2 it would seem the BIOS has the 137GB limit

I tried updating to the latest BIOS (v2.00 from v1.70) but that made no difference.

I am assuming I should set the drive capacity to 137GB to avoid any issues?
