You could be right - it's a long time ago. Thinking about it, it was cluster size rather than support of partition size that made us break our 8GB drives down into several partitions.

Check your BIOS and see if it recognises the whole disk first. My Epox-6VBA (circa 1999 from memory) would only recognise 32Gigs of a 40Gig Seagate.
