From: Vitaly Pavlenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have seen a jumper on desktop hard drives that would limit capacity by
32GB. Is it possible with any notebook drive? The reason is that 40GB
models are cheaper now than 30GB. My external IBM enclosure is apparently
limited to 32GB drives.
Are you sure the external drive is really limited to 30GB Vitaly? I'd just
try a larger drive if you can get one to test. It seems I've read posts by
people who asked about external HDD enclosures they too thought had a
limited capacity. But it turned out that the enclosure could in fact
support much more. The limiting factor was actually something else above
100GB or so... Was it the operating system or file system folks??
