Re: 120gb hdd seen as only 32gb

2003-02-09 Thread lars
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.

I'll try
"Master with limit capacity in upper 32GB
(capacity > 32 GB)" next, brb.

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.
