Can anyone help please with information to overcome a 32Gb limit on a Jetway motherboard. The board is type V266A with an Award bios VT8366-8233-6A6LVJ1BC-00. I would like to fully use my Seagate 40Gb ST340810A hard drive without using the disk manager software. I have just upgraded to the latest bios on the Jetway web site (V266AA02) with no improvement. I would be very gratefull for any assistance.
Thanks very much

You've flashed to a March 2002 release. The 32GB bug was solved in the 3rd quarter of 1999....

Check jumper settings on your HDD - looks like you have 32GB-clip enabled.

Thanks for both of your replies. Yes you are correct I have successfully flashed the March 2002 Bios update. I have already checked the hard drive before installing it to make sure that the 32gb jumper was not in place. I haveposted an email to Jetways technical support dept. and I await an answer. If it is of any use I will let the forum know.
Thanks again
