P2 Motherboard supporting high capacity harddisk
I would like to ask whether if Pentium 2 motherboards able to support high capacity harddisk such as 80GB and above. I think i have the latest bio updates (1998 update version) from asus. they have no further bio upgrade since.. if the answer is no, is there anywhere that i can make the system to accept such capacity harddisk?

Hey, I've seen that one somewhere ... that one is bootable (I checked). If it's a BX chipset, which was very common, the PCI slots are standard. Tell us which manufacturer and model, and we'll look it up.
I made sure that I listed one that was bootable this time. ;)
I use a p2 computer with a 40gb disk. With Win98 fdisk (I don't think) will see the disk as its full size, neither will another partition manager, but Windows 2000 installer sees it as full size.

thanks everyone, i think i will check on the cable first before deciding if i should get a ATA card and a new harddisk, as this is an old system, i do not wish to spend too much on it, i merely use it as a small server in my local network... thanks alot guys :)
your welcome.
