Motherboard & HDD conflict?
Hi
I currently have an ASUS P2B Intel 440BX motherboard and it supports the Ultra DMA/33 Bus Master IDE (correct me if I'm wrong, for the HDD).
I just recently bought a Maxtor 40gig 7200rpm harddrive...
I'm wondering would my motherboard be able to support this harddrive that i just got?
I asked the dealer where I bought the drive and he said that all I need to do is upgrade the BIOS (which I already did).
From the way he said it, I'm not convinced that it is all I have to do...
Could someone please help me out..
Thanx
