I have an intel motherboard D875PBZ. I use a WD 36GB 10,000rpm sata hard drive for the operating system and such. There is a scsi array used to store video clips. I am using windows XP Professional. I received a WD 150GB 10,000rpm sata raptor X. I want to use this drive in place of the 36GB drive.
When I pluged it in and tried to reload Windows I only get have way through the install and when it is time for windows to load it's files the computer reboots and starts at the begining.
I tried this drive on another machine with the same result. When I go into setup the drive is listed. It can be formated. I built this machine in 2003~. The other computer is older also.
I had to do a Bios recovery to get the computer back to where it was with the old drive. HERE IS THE QUESTION DOES ANY ONE KNOW IF THIS MOTHERBOARD ( or more to the point the Bios)HAS A LIMIT ON HOW BIG A DRIVE IT WILL SUPPORT? Intel does not have support anymore and I haven't been able to find information about drive limitations. I do not beleive the drive is defective. More information:When I load the bios with the 36GB drive in place I can feel the drive rotate. When I load the Bios with the 150GB drive, the drive does not rotate (it has a window to see in).
Thanks
