That board only supports up to UltraDMA 66 so is limited to 132GB drives.

I've had a look at the BIOS page and unfortunately there isn't an update to
enable 48-bit LBA

If you added a UDMA-100 or later controller card you could use the drive
without a problem.

Subject: [H] Strange partition issue

I have an ancient Tyan S1854 motherboard and I put a 320GB HD in 
it.  The BIOS recognizes it as being 132MB, and Windows Explorer says 
it's a 128GB partition, but diskpart says it's a 310GB partition.  Is 
Explorer simply showing me an incorrect lower number, or is diskpart wrong?
