As far as a practical answer, you are correct. The largest that can be used is approx 137G, but no one makes a 137G drive, the largest that is made that will work properly is a 120G.On Mar 17, 2005, at 12:35 PM, Jamie Pruden wrote:
I guess the subject says it all... what's the largest drive that can be installed in a Blue and White on the stock IDE bus?
I'd say 120G. If I'm wrong, you'll hear about it real soon.
There's driver software you can buy to get past this limit:

But:
1. It doesn't work on the Blue and White's Hard drive bus, just its CD/DVD bus, which I think is slower?
2. It costs $25, which you could put toward the cost of a PCI ATA card and use your drive's full capacity AND speed.
