Two solutions (really three)
1.) Partition it up into 120 GB partitions and have 8 120 and one
smaller (maybe you will not get a full 1TB but maybe 960 GB)
2.) Use an overlay program which will allow your computer to see the
full drive.
3.) Buy a controller card that will allow you computer (It has it's
own bios) to see the full drive.
The most radical fix is get a new motherboard.

If I buy a 1tb external usb drive, will it have the same 120gb limit due to
my motherboard or what? If yes, then I would hafta divide it up into many
partitions? My internal drive is a 160gb pata drive which had2 have 40gb
partitioned off to "see" it. There's a 2nd hdd internal slot open ...if I
put the 1tb drive in there, what would hafta be done then, multiple
partitions? Any other solutions?
