Dell 4600 = NO 48bit LBA?

[lessthanjakejohn]

Can't really figure it out.

I have a Samsung SP1614N

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=22-152-014&depa=0

I format it using the Samsung tool, it boots up with Ontrack Dynamic Drive Overlay, then I insert the OEM XP Home CD from Dell with SP1. Max GB is 128/137.5

Without the samsung tool max is like 34.9.

Any help?

You'll get better answers probably once a mod moves this to the Disk Storage forum.

Perhaps.

how old is it?

call up dell, and ask.. just dont tell them that you plugged anything in... i think voids the warruntee.

thats what i did with my old gateway.

worst case scenario, 25 dollar ide card
