Hmm, it could be that there are problems with the 8235 and 48bit mode needed for >137G drives. However, I dont have a 8235 in my ATA HW collection so I have no way of reproducing/testing/fixing this problem if thats the case. On top of that VIA is not very cooperative so getting docs that could help here is not very likely.. -- -Søren
