3795.0. "See not all of a 4GB EIDE Harddisk on Venturis 5100" by VIRGIN::SUTTER (Who are you ??? - I'm BATMAN !!!) Thu Mar 13 1997 20:43

Hi, 

I added an WD AC34000 EIDE Harddisk to a Venturis 5100 with V2.01
BIOS but I can only go up as far as 6349 Cyls. in the BIOS setup
although the drive has 7752 Cyls. 

With DOS/Win95 I thus see only some 3.2GB under fdisk instead of the
full 4GB. 

Why can I only go up to 6349 Cyls.? 

Thank's much already for any hints that gives me access to the full
disk!!

Regards,

Arnold

    Get the latest BIOS v2.02 from the PCBU BBS/Web site.
    It will help you to see the rest of the HDD.
