NTFS will likely be required instead of FAT32 (if you are even thinking about it). Once done confirm the Intel IDE / chipset drivers are installed, consider updating them if need be. Jack1983 March 11, 2006 6:03:53 AM Thank you! But what does you mean by IDE/chipset drives? Do you mean by upgrading the BIOS? Can't find your answer ? Ask !

Hale73 March 12, 2006 10:58:17 AM The Chipset ur asking about is your "Intel845D" which is your motherboard Chipset Jack1983 March 13, 2006 12:22:34 PM My mobo is MSI, and actually my question is this, can i845d support this kind of hard dirve directly without updating the bios or something like that? michaelahess March 14, 2006 12:43:13 AM the chipset supports it, whether or not it has the proper bios code is another matter, I woild venture to say yes, if it doesn't you'll only see the limited amount, then you know you need to update it. Jack1983 March 16, 2006 1:36:12 AM Thank you guys, for all your help! It turns out that the i845D does support without updating the bios or something like that. Can't find your answer ? Ask !
