TheTerrorist_75 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 It sounds like this could be due to an older motherboard that there is a Bios limitation on hard drive size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTerrorist_75 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 That is a Shuttle Skywalker AI61 with the old AMD Slot A Athlon T-bird. That is the exact same setup in my other PC except the 750 MHz Athlon has had the smd resistors reworked to overclock it to 1GHz. That Bios should recognize larger hard drives. I run 2 20GB Western Digitals on mine.Have you tried running FDISK and selecting the option to see if it shows multiple partitions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
