120gb hdd seen as only 32gb

2003-02-09 Thread lars
Hi all,

When I want to install FreeBSD 4.7
on a 120gb Samsung Spinpoint hdd,
on a Asus p4t533 motherboard (Intel 850e),
only 32 gb are recognised by the installer.

Any help would be appreciated,
Lars.

Could it be a jumper setting issue?  See

I wonder if this is some sort hack so that the drive might work with
old broken Windows boxes that might not support more than 32GB.

I've set my hdd to
Cable Select in upper 32GB
(capacity  32 GB) at the moment.
I'll try
Master with limit capacity in upper 32GB
(capacity  32 GB) next, brb.

Thanks for the pointer, the whole drive gets recognised now.

The leaflet (that came with the hdd) calls
Master with limit capacity in upper 32GB
 (capacity  32 GB)
Pin Setting (32 GB Clip Pin Setting).

Anyway, it works.
Thanks.
