I'm trying to get an 8.45GB Fujitsu MPE3084 AE to work on a pentium-
based system. The chipset is the 430HX. Unfortunately, the BIOS
doesn't like this drive. It gets reported as about 3.2GB.
based system. The chipset is the 430HX. Unfortunately, the BIOS
doesn't like this drive. It gets reported as about 3.2GB.
I can force the CHS values in the BIOS, but since the NT4 driver uses
LBA, those corrections get ignored, and the incorrect 3.2GB size is
seen by Windows. Is there any way to make NT4 ignore LBA and use CHS
to access the disk?
Thanks,
Branan
