All the > 2GB Maxtors I've seen have a jumper which reduces the reported capacity to 4092 cylinders so old BIOSes can detect them. Look up your drive at http://www.maxtor.com/, download the jumper settings, and make sure that that jumper is not set on your drive. -- David Siebörger drs@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
