You will have a setting to set your HD emulate 1024 cylinders. Now...if you have done this already and still unable to access the full HD, then there is another problem, and that is your bios is an old one and not able to recognize HD's above 12 megs. If that is the case then you need to see if you can upgrade your bios. If you have a flash bios you can go to the manufacorter of the board and possibly get the upgrade that way. Otherwise you are stuck with going back to a smaller HD or upgrading your mb. Regardless....one of those will prob work...just check in order...once you adjust your cylnder emulation in the bios, you will have to repartition and re-install. >available. Any solutions ??
