My bios only supports a hardrive smaller then 8.4 gigs. If I buy a maxtor 18 gig hardrive can I just partition it into three smaller drives or will the bios not recgonize it at all?

Thanks

If a bios update is NOT avaliable then what you would have to do is install one of the "overlay" programs which "tricks" the BIOS into believing that you have a smaller harddrive but allows Windows to use the full size of the drive....

What Make and Model of Motherboard do you have?
