Subject: Re: Lost hibernate on 70CT
I believe the 1.7g BIOS 6.40 limit only affected Toshiba 2.1g
(MK2105MAT) HDs that came in later model 70s. My 70 had this HD in it
(along with the 6.40 BIOS) and I could only see the 1.7g. When I
downgraded to 6.20, the whole 2.1g was visible. I later put in a 4.3g
HD, but I was still using BIOS 4.20 when I did that. Alas, I can no
longer do any testing with regards to this since I sold my 70 when I got
my 100. I put the 4.3g in the 100 when I got it and put the 2.1g back in
the 70. I still have the identical 2.1g HD that came out of the 100.
Good luck,
Clinton Parker
