Actually, yeah. I have the IBM 14.4 GXP drive, and it detects fine. It's on as secondary on my secondary IDE controller, but I don't know if that affects anything. . . I have much the same system, except on an EPOX board with a bios that's only a few months old. . . You might wanna see if there's an update for your current board, because you may just need to flash so that the board can manipulate the heads, for instance..

What is sfdisk? Is it on the install disks---apparently not? I have attempted to follow the Large Disk HOWTO and jumpered the drive as a 15 Head drive, as suggested. Otherwise it was detected at 500MB.

I only see 7.9 GB. Several different BIOS parameters don't improve the situation.

Has anyone on this list succeeded at this?
