On the subject of large drive support the HELP section of BIOS Wizard 2.10 states:
Enhanced Disk Drive Specification was designed to support large volume hard disk drives.
If your BIOS does not support this specification,
you will not be able to support large volume hard disk drives with your PC.
For example, Hard Drives larger than 8.4 Gigabytes or 32 Gigabytes.

I currently have a Maxtor 60 Gigabyte drive -
System does recognize this drive - no problems.

HELP section of BIOS Wizard does not address the issue of drives
greater than 137 Gigabytes.

OS: Windows XP Home Edition - Service Pack2.

My question remains the same: Will system support hard drives greater than 137 gigabytes ?

Much thanks for your assistance.

Denniss point you to the answer:

32. What is the largest harddrive size recognised by the M810?
The M810 does not support 48bit LBA. The largest IDE drive detected by the M810 BIOS is 137GB. So a 120GIG drive is as big as you can use. You can use bigger harddrives with a PCI IDE controller. Windows XP only recognised harddrives bigger than 137GB if Service Pack 1 is installed. For Windows 9x, your FDISK will may not recognise drives bigger than 64GB, so you will need an updated FDISK from Microsoft.
