gsupp,

The restriction is in the bios. The 4100 have a promise controller that has a bug to keep it from handling LBA 48 bit correctly. Instead of releasing a BIOS update to correct the firmware problem, they elected not too. Hoping users would upgrade to newer units. We have tried till were blue on the face, NO LUCK.

Azteclogic,

Connect as admin and look through the trouble log. You may be having a drive problem or failure. Post what you have, Model, OS, HW, BIOS and disk configuration if you need help.

Upgrading the OS when you have a problem generally compound the problem.
