Computer Doctor: It may be necessary, but first you should make sure that you have used the correct information for setting the jumpers. Many drive makers supply two sets of instructions: one set of jumper settings is used for systems whose BIOSes can use the drive's full capacity, and a second set of settings that may be referred to as "spare" or "alternate" or "reduced capacity". These settings reduce the reported size of the drive to 2.

Most current systems will experience no difficulty using a larger drive. Using a current operating system eases many compatibility concerns. Upgrading your system BIOS to the latest release is also a good idea. Contact your system manufacturer for details regarding a BIOS upgrade.

Computer Doctor: Since FDISK originally saw the entire capacity of the drive, the BIOS isn't the issue. You've run into two limitations that DOS 6.22 imposes on hard drive sizes. The first limitation is that DOS 6.22 cannot recognize a drive larger than 8.4GB (even if your BIOS can); the second limitation is that a single partition can't be larger than 2.1GB. These limitations are also shared by the original Windows 95 and the 95a release.

Reader: I recently purchased a second-hand PC which came with no software. Before and after I installed my copy of Windows 95 from my previous PC onto this computer, the BIOS setup confirmed that the hard drive has a 3.1GB storage capacity. Computer Doctor: Windows 95 and Windows 95a have a 2.1GB limit per drive letter. If you want to use the rest of the drive's capacity, you need to run Fdisk and create an extended partition and set up a logical drive D: inside the extended partition.

We're not announcing any larger hard drives today. That said, Xbox 360 is built for the future and can evolve to expand into new multimedia entertainment scenarios. With all of the great downloadable content that will be available on Xbox Live, we want to leave room for the gamers to ultimately decide.

Certainly. CTX notebooks have removable hard drives. If you have an older 486 model, you may want to obtain a newer BIOS version is order to take advantage of large capacity drives The DX4/100 CPU obtainable from CTX customer service. Most 486 EzBook models can be upgraded with a faster CPU, up to a 486/DX4100.

The procedure for updating BIOS is different for EPROM and Flash ROM chips. Please refer to the following explanation. If you have an EPROM BIOS chip, it will have a small glass window on the top which is covered by a BIOS label. The internal components of the EPROM chip must undergo exposure by ultraviolet light (visible light is not suitable for this purpose, so an ultraviolet bulb must be used) via the glass window in order to clear it's BIOS content.

To allow computer systems access all the data on drives larger than 137 GB, the T13 AT Attachment standards committee developed 48-bit addressing. 48-bit addressing increases the maximum addressable space to 144,115,188,075,855,872 bytes (144 Petabytes). Computer systems manufactured before development of the 48-bit address method do not natively support drives larger than 137 GB (but can, if upgraded as described below).

One of the limitations of creating a FAT32 partition on Windows 2000 or Windows XP, is that you are limited to 32GB partitions. If you have access to a Windows ME or Windows 98SE computer, it will be possible to create a single partition as big as the drives volume. If you only have access to a Windows 2000 or XP system, you can make multiple 32GB partitions and use FireStore that way. FireStore version 2.2 can directly create a FAT32.

Native DV takes up a lot of hard drive storage. Approximately 4.5 minutes of footage fits in a gigabyte (1 hr takes 13 GB). This is why all our systems come with a lot of hard disk space, e.g. our lowest-end system has 80 gigabytes or >6 hours of full resolution DV. Hard drive space is one of the first things people want to upgrade after purchasing their system. This is what lead to the 1 Beyond removable cartridge being standard.

The DVD burning software you use should allow you to select the format of the DVD. If it does, select the UDF format (ISO format does not support files larger than 2 GB).

Only the official bios releases are supported by ECS, and the latest versions have corrected many compatibility issues. However, if you don't need any of these fixes there isn't any reason for you to flash your bios. There is always the possibility that the bios modification that solved some other's problem might create a new one for you. Remember, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. Nobody has ever reported being able to boot at 166/166 with a k7s5a board.

Answer: Not really. New BIOS revisions, are created to correct or improve compatibility for certain devices or configurations. If your system is working without any prob

First, please download the latest BIOS file(*.exe) and Award Flash Utility rev5.32 or the latest version (awdflash.exe) from the manufacturer's web site onto a bootable booting disk (please be sure it is not infected with virus). Reboot the main board with this booting disk, proceed *.exe. It will automatically decompress into *.bin. After you reboot the system, setting up HDD, FDD, Date, and so on. Please do not forget to LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS. - Go to Top

Symptoms: Problem: The system BIOS shows the hard drive to be only 32GB when the drive is much larger. Cause: You had setup with Data Lifeguard Tools 11(from Western digital) and used the Set Hard Drive Size option under the Utilities menu. Symptoms: Problem The full capacity of EIDE drives larger than 137GB (128GB binary) is not recognized in Windows 2000/XP.

Sun advertise the Sun Blade 100 in several supported configurations, and it does seem from their literature that the largest hard drive configuration supported is 2 x 15GB. You can use a drive of any capacity supported by OpenBoot though. I've replaced the 15GB Seagate drive with a 40GB Western Digital, for instance (the Seagate is quite slow and noisy). I had no problems at all doing this, either from the software or the hardware.

The hard drives we supply are carefully chosen to reduce heat (and noise) to a minimum. However, you may notice that your Sky+ unit's fan comes on more often due to the extra power supply load. The latest Sky+ firmware now puts the hard disk into standby when not in use, therefore keeping heat to a minimum.

Select the file that most closely corresponds to your drive and download it by clicking on the drive picture. Copy the ASPI driver that is appropriate for your SCSI card to the diskette and update the DEVICE= line for the file in the CONFIG.SYS Set the SCSI id on your drive to 0, 2 or 5, or make sure your drive is the only device attached to the controler.

No, In fact, there may be savings in salt and the total number of regeneration cycles in a larger unit.

This will depend to a large extent on the amount of power and torque the engine has and the way in which the vehicle is driven. I have customers driving around with 150bhp engines bolted to totally stock transmissions and reporting no trouble. On the other hand, there are others with 100bhp who have broken differentials, axles and gears. The difference is in the way the vehicles are driven.

Even if your computer is behind a firewall, NAT [Network Address Translator], Proxy, or any other device that denies direct access from the outside world you still need to keep all of the software on your computer up to date. The reason is that there are a number of ways that you computer can be attacked. When you connected to another host computer on the Internet you have opened a connection that allows two-way communication with that host.

Windows 2000, NT4.0 & XP] When I try to record a file that is over 4 GB, an error occurs when the image file is 99% complete.

I'm using the listed in the table as "Mine". It's basically the standard 1008, but I've updated the SATA BIOS updated to 4.2.50, and AWDFLASH to 8.24B.

There are basically two reasons. First, if we build much larger, the cost of the project itself would be too much. Secondly, operating the center will be too expensive.

Currently, Rapid Reel specializes in manual rewind (hand crank) hose reels and the model GH168-WG wagon reel is the largest capacity reel available from Rapid Reel. Its 225 ft. capacity of 5/8” hose will span 3/4 of a football field. Due to the weight of water-filled hose, (when full of water, 225 ft. of 5/8" garden hose will weigh right around 60 lbs.), combined with the friction of pulling it across the ground, hand crank reels are not feasible for capacities greater than 225 ft.
