It sounds strange that the full capacity is not available within Windows but within Linux, it should be seen as non-partitioned area. AFAIR there were some boards with Award 4.51PG having this problem but not many. I'll dig out my patcher and have a look at the Bios on the weekend. Any news or upda...

Linux on the 80GB HDD is no problem (i'm running debian atm on it)

But the Windows XP Setup sees only the 32GB

When I make partitions (32GB + 48GB) with gparted, linux has no problems, but the windows setup says i must format the harddisc because there are no partitions on it

I've tested it now:

with the 32GB jumper, I can't use the other 48GB

They aren't shown in the Windows management console or in other partition programs

So I hope anybody will patch the bits in my bios :(

I've installed Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs an the disk management wasn't there (i forgot to tick the option in the setup)

I'll try again now :)
