I have an Asus P5A-B mobo (the AT version) and I agree with another response, that Linux doesn't care about HD size. But if you want to use Windows, the HD is limited to 30gig and ATA33 by the mobo. A very attractive solution for an IDE drive is the Promise PCI card. The Promise card has its own Bios that will support any HD size and you can get versions in ATA66 and higher. Check out ebay under drives-media/controllers. With one Promise card plus your on board IDE you can run 8 IDE devices. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Bresnahan [SMTP:mbresnah at visi.com] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 1:42 AM To: Tclug-List at Mn-Linux.Org Subject: [TCLUG] Max HD size supported by Asus P5A motherboard I have a Asus P5A motherboard (version 1005) with an Award BIOS (version 4.51PG) and I'd like to put a larger hard-drive in it... maybe one of those 100GB Western Digital drives. The question is, how big a HD will it support? I went to the Award website and it said, "...it's impossible to know how large a disk drive your system can support without actually testing it...". Well, that really sux. Hardware/firmware is soooo stupid sometimes. Can anyone suggest a better solution?
