how to make larger Hard disks to be recognized....

[ron wolpa]

sept 10th 2004

I have an old mother board whose Bios only supports hard disks up to 8 gigabytes ;
I heard there are programs that can make larger disks as 40 gigabytes for instance to be recognized ;
Can such programs be used in this case ?
What programs are and how they work ?
Cheers

I'd recommend updating to a new computer
you can purchase some barebone systems fairly cheap from tigerdirect
http://www.tigerdirect.com/

if your intent on updating your current pc and are just looking to add space to store files
keep your system on the original hard drive and add the second one in for the storage

You can read up on the 8gb limitation on the link below
