Hi all,
I recently tried installing a 250G hard drive as the secondary IDE slave device (120G as the master). The device is recognized in startup and BIOS, but it does not show up in My Computer. My father said that Windows XP will not recognize a hard drive larger than 137G without an IDE controller card. Can somebody please verify this, or is there some way around this problem?
BTW, I have 3 open SATA ports on my Asus A8N mobo, but since my father had an extra 250G IDE drive, I thought I'd just use that.
Thanks,
John
