It sounds like your drive has the "Capacity Limitation Jumper" set. All the > 2GB Maxtors I've seen have a jumper which reduces the reported capacity to 4092 cylinders so old BIOSes can detect them. Look up your drive at http://www.maxtor.com/, download the jumper settings, and make sure that that jumper is not set on your drive. -- David Sieb�rger [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
