Check the firmware. If it's lower than v.4.0, upgrade the firmware and it should work. Most Oxford 911 support larger than 128 GB HDs, so if it was sold to you this way the odds are very high it should support large HDs. If you place the larger HD into the external enclosure yourself, it may have the 128 GB limit, but again, it would have to be a fairly old enclosure. Some of those enclosures with the 128 GB limit had a way to bypass the limit using certain models of Maxtor HDs, but I never fully understood the requirements to bypass the limit. It evidently had something to do with the firmware on the HD itself, hence the requirement for some "special models" of Maxtor drives. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
