Dale:
The instructions for my Western Digital Hard
drive says that if you have a drive over 137 Gb
they include a controller card and drivers
to overcome the need for a 48 bit
LBA addressing system from your BIOS.
The 28 bit addressing system of an older BIOS will
only address 137 Gb 's of your hard drive
You can try calling them at 1-800-275 4932
or go to www.wdc.com
or www.support.wdc.com
or www.westerndigital.com
You can download software to be used with drives over
137 Gb.
