Hi list,
I added a 500GB Seagate drive to an older HP PC (circa 2001) as a second drive. Seagates "seatools" seems to think it is OK and diagnostics run fine. Whenever I boot Windoze it only sees 137GB. If I boot Knoppix it sees the whole drive and was able to create a ~500GB ext3 filesystem. So I create a 500GB ntfs filesystem with Knoppix/gpartd and boot windoze again but it only sees 137GB. I contacted HP and was told that my PC chipsets cannot utilize drives over 120GB. How does Linux get around this limitation? Is HP blowing smoke where the sun doesn't shine? Confused. Greg
