If you have a Hard Drive bigger then 137GB and you are running Windows
XP, you will need to install Service Pack 1 to allow Windows to see
any Hard Drive bigger then the default size of 137GB. For more

Hi Tom:

I know this does not directly answer your question but I'm currently
using a Maxtor 250gig drive on a SY-K7V Dragon Plus! mb which was made well
before your KT600. I needed to d/l a little utility from the Maxtor website
that enables drives over a certain size (around 120g) to be recognized.

Hope this helps,

Doug

Sorry Tom, but your too unlucky because i have more memory then you , and i got 1T which stands for Terabyte and its 10000 times bigger then yours, hahahahaha!!! i got my hard drive from currys

memory
between Prefixes "YZETGMk" is 1024 not 1000

are you guys talking in code? toms needs to auto lock old threads lol

I have a P4I875P DRAGON 2 Black Edition SERIAL, I am using Win XP Pro Ver 2002 SP3. I Tried to install a WD VelociRaptor 300 Gb 10,000 rpm SATA drive. The system will recognize it as Drive 0, but it will not allow me to Partition it or use it as a boot drive. if I try to use it as a single drive, the BIOS will freeze at the RAID prompt. I need to build a new system anyway!

Quote from MB Manual:
This Motherboard offers two primary (IDE1, IDE3) IDE device connectors, 2
secondary IDE device connectors (IDE2, IDE4) and 4 tertiary serial ATA
ports. IDE1 and IDE2 can support up to four high-speed Ultra DMA
33/66/100 HDD or CD-ROM. IDE3 and IDE4 can support up to 4 high speed
Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 HDD. SATA1~4 can support up to 4 ATA 150
SATA hard disks.

IDE1,2 are controlled by the 82801EB (ICH5), IDE3,4 are controlled by the
HighPoint 372N, SATA1,2 are controlled by the 82801EB (ICH5) and
SATA3,4 are controlled by the Silicon Image Sil3112 controller..
There are 8 parallel ATA HDD connectors (IDE1, IDE2, IDE3, IDE4) and 4
serial ATA connectors on the motherboard. IDE3 and IDE4 are provided for
IDE RAID or standard IDE function. SATA1 and SATA2 are provided for
standard SATA function. SATA 3 and SATA4 are provided for SATA RAID or
standard SATA function. This Motherboard can support up to 12 HDDs.
Note: IDE2 and SATA2 are not bootable, SATA1, SATA3, SATA4 and
IDE1, IDE3 and IDE4 are bootable.
Note: Only Windows XP can use SATA1, SATA2, IDE1 and IDE2 at the
same time.

way to go 4 year old thread resurrection yar...!
