Hello I bought a 160GB hard drive. I will getting it in about 2 weeks time since the first one the shop ordered arrived on Friday and it was broken and now their on a week's holiday.
How do i know if my motherboards onboard RAID and IDE controllers will support the 160GB drive. My motherboard i think was made about 15 August 2002. I have looked in my motherboards manual and it does not tell me if the both controllers support 48bit addressing.

Thankyou
djrock

Not certain but your mobo should support larger hard drives. Make sure that if you are using WinXP you have SP1 installed also that will allow the os to recognise hard drives larger than 137 Gb.
