System BIOS dated prior to September 1997 does not support drives greater than 8.4GB. Most older system BIOS’s have a drive capacity limitation. Such limitations may include 528MB, 2.1GB, 4.2GB, and 8.4GB. The proper solution for a BIOS limitation is to contact your system manufacturer for assistance. To obtain the full capacity of a drive larger than 8.4GB, you may try following solutions such as: • Upgrade the BIOS • Install a BIOS enhancer card • Use the disk manager installation software Please also check the “32GB BIOS Limitations” below for additional BIOS information.
