"The maximum parameters at the 8.4 GB barrier are 16,383 cylinders, 16 heads and 63 sectors for a capacity of 8.455 GB. To go beyond this boundary, a new extended INT 13 function is needed from the BIOS as a support feature for the drives. The BIOS listed below are all "CORE" BIOS that will support drives larger than 8.4 GB. Even though a BIOS is dated correctly or is the current version, it may not be able to support extended interrupt 13 because of modification done to the "CORE" of the BIOS from the motherboard manufacturer.

If your BIOS does not utilize Auto-Detect, Maxtor recommends that you: - Manually enter the Maximum Cylinder value for the hard drive if greater than 8.4 GB. - Manually enter the Actual Cylinder value for the hard drive if less than 8.4 GB." _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
