Due to limitations in Windows and many types of system BIOS, partitioning and formatting drives larger than 137 Gigabytes without proper driver or controller support WILL CAUSE DATA LOSS when storing data to the drive beyond the 137 GB Barrier.
In order for you system to recognize more than a 137 GB perform one of the following recommended solutions:
If you have a motherboard that has a Intel chipset (810, 810E, 810E2, 815, 815, 815E, 815EP, 815P, 820, 820E, 830M, 830MP, 830MG, 840, 845, 850, or 860) please visit
www.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/ and download the Intel Application Accelerator. Intel's Application Accelerator supports the full capacity of drives larger than 137 GB.
If you do not have a motherboard that has a Intel chipset then it is recommended to purchase a Ultra ATA 133 PCI card that supports 48 bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA). You can purchase the Maxtor Ultra ATA 133 PCI Card at
www.maxtordirect.com which supports drives that are larger than 137 GB.
Это получается нужен дополнительный Ultra ATA 133 PCI card?
Или все же надо подождать обновление биоса?
