(Has something to do with a 65536 limit to cylinders) The ad driver in 4.0 is supposed to take care of this. I say supposed because I have only installed one drive on a 4.0 system larger than 33 gig. It installed fine, but I don't want to call one success a definitive answer. On the other hand, I have had numerous problems getting 33+ gig drives working under 3.4, so I feel fairly confident when I say they don't work well.
