June 5, 200619 yr I've been reading about this limitation, and understand that not all motherboards and/or BIOS have the limitation. I have an ASUS A8N which is rather recent, using the IDE interfaces to two hard drives (master/slave relationship), and am wondering if I'm limited in C: partition size to less than the 1024 cylinder size? I've been to the ASUS site and done a search on my motherboard but can't determine if I'm affected or not.Any help is much appreciated.Thanks, Bruce ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
June 13, 200619 yr Bruce,The 1024 cylinder limitation has been solved in 1997 with the Int13 bios extensions. However, they must be supported by the OS.If you want to read more about these limitations: http://homepages.tesco.net./~J.deBoynePoll...ize-limits.htmlSo in short, with a recent PC you should not have any problems, although some software may still warn you about this problem.Good luck,Allard Flightsim rig: CPU: AMD 5900x | Mobo: MSI X570 MEG Unify | RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo | GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3090 | Storage: M.2 (2 & 4 TB) | PSU: Corsair RM850x | Case: Fractal Define 7 XL Display: Acer Predator x34 3440x1440 | Speakers: Logitech Z906 Controllers: Fulcrum One Yoke | MFG Crosswind v2 pedals | Honeycomb Bravo Quadrant |Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant | Stream Deck XL & Plus | TrackIR 5 Tobii eye tracking
