Trivia, just FYI

AND
Setting up HD's

"If your BIOS does not utilize Auto-Detect, Maxtor recommends that you:

Manually enter the Maximum Cylinder value for the hard drive if greater than 8.4 GB.
Manually enter the Actual Cylinder value for the hard drive if less than 8.4 GB.

NOTE:
NEVER enter more than 16,383 cylinders in the system BIOS. This may potentially cause DATA LOSS!! http://www.maxtor.com/Maxtorhome.htm
