Sorry to be off topic, but this is the kind of issue that you guys always know the answer to, on a larger scale: I have a Dell desktop, its bios doesn't make nice with drives over 120 Gb. No ROM update is available. I want to add a 250 Gb drive. The manufacturer of the drive says to use ez bios, although the version they have available gives an error when I use it, as directed, to make a bootable floppy - " Disk error on A: drive: DMA crosses 64k boundary" I have no clue of what this is trying to tell me. First of all, does anyone know what this means. Second, if I connect the drive using a usb2 drive enclosure (this would actually be advantagous...the drive is for archiving images of variious other machines...it would be good to be able to take it off site), does that bypass the bios' limitation? System is Dell Dimension 8200 Bios version A08 XP pro 5.1.2600, SP1 P4 2.4 TIA Mike Hodish ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
