10. CONCULUSION – as point out by OzDave maybe a combination of hard drive and bios, we should post the hard drive type we’re using. Norm2k use a command “ide 48bitLBACounter” will show you if the drive is compatible to the Snap Server. Stuck a 130gb limit with the Snap 4100 . I’ll try a different drive later.

Harddrive used is a Samsung SpinPoint 160gb / 8meg / 7200 / ATA133

OzDave. (You could be right, HD & BIOS)
Norm2k. (Thank for the tips, IDE COMMAND)
