I'm getting 2 x 250gb Seagate 7200 SATA NCQ drives and I'm wondering if i'm gonna have any 137gb problems ? Will it recognize my whole 250gb ?


Thanks

It shouldn't have trouble, I believe that was a problem with Windows 98.

So in theory I should be able to make a 250gb partition ?

It will not have a problem, I know from experience. Although, I was playing with nLite once, and it had an option to fix a 137GB bug, not sure if it will effect you or not. But there is definately a problem for some people.

With sata it will be fine.

The 137gb problem is only on ATA100 systems ... mostly anway.. some ata133 might have it if they are via.. but I think its fixable with bios updates.

But sata1 can have a pretty big drive before it gets confused.

my 300gb drive works fine on this mobo, you should not have any problem
