Greetings to everybody and wishing a PRO-COOL 2006!

This is my first post here, so I'd like to point out that it's *PACKED* with great info and help! Keep up the good work everyone and hopefully I can add to that!

Here's my question to anyone who could help:
I recently ended up (lucky man) with a Dell 705 (aka Snapserver 4100, as I learned here), a pull from a friends company serverroom, I just paid 100 euros for it!

Now, it is a 160GB model, but -as most of you here- wanted to upgrade the disks and -preferably to >137GB ones. So, I got myself 4x250GB (WD2500), ATA100 disks, which are currently seen by the system as ~128GB each.

I read every single relevant post in this forum, which allowed me to transform the Dell to a SnapAppliance and upgrade to SnapOS 4.3.830 (was 3.4.790), but -as correctly stated again in the forum- this version will STILL not allow setting of the 48lba bit.

And here goes my confusion regarding the 4100:
-Does the newer version (4.8.890) finally allow the setting of the 48lba bit ?
-Does the earlier "disappeared" version 3.4.805 allow the setting of 48lba bit ?
-Other than supporting Windows 2003, are there any more major differences between the two versions?

Is there someone who can get me access to get and test these versions?

Thx everyone in advance for your time!
