I haven't experienced it myself, but I do know that there is a 32 or 33GB limit for some BIOSes, similar to the 512MB, 2GB, and 8GB limits that many SURVPCs have. There are usually work-arounds available; you need to visit the WWW site of your hard drive manufacturer. Check the FAQ, and you'll probably find that they have a download available to fix the problem. Hope this helps, Anthony J.
