Is there a maximum HDD size for this motherboard?

I am thinking of upgrading my HDD containing my Vista operating system to one of at least 1TB in the near future and believe that I saw somewhere that some BIOSs limit the size of HDD which they will recognise.  Is this correct?
If it is, then is there a way to partition a big HDD to overcome this problem?

There is no limit you can reach at the moment on harddisk size, as no harddisk is big enough
Thanks very much Bas.

    Is there a maximum program size for the AWM GUI?
    I have a program that I migrated from Oracle Exress to Oracle 9i. The program runs fine, but I get buffer errors whenever I edit it with the Analytic Workspace Manager GUI. Only my longest program has this problem.
    Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix/workaround?
    Thank you,

    This problem is solved with the 10.0.0.1.0 AWM client, which is on the 10G CD.

  • What is the maximum HDD size for Pavilion DV7-3105ea and can I add a 2nd HDD.

    Hi,
    Please could someone advise me as to the maximum HDD size that can be installed in a Pavilion DV7-3105ea.
    Additionally is it possible to add a second HDD.
    Thanks and kind regards,
    jB

    There is no theoretical limit the only limit is what is sold on the market. Any correctly sized SATA laptop drive will work. They do now make 1TB drives that will fit and yes there is a secondary hard drive bay so theoretically you could have 2TB of storage. You are going to need 1 or 2 drives like this:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152291
    The drive has to be 9.5 mm in height some 1TB laptop drives are too thick.
    You also likely need a second hard drive caddy/connector like this:
    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=222&zenid=2a83d0d222d80c6...
    And here is a link to the Manual showing how to get to the hard drive bay:

    Check your system to see if a secondary drive caddy/connector is there but it likely is not and you need the part linked above. Good luck.

    No, it all depends on the length of the movie or tv show. I never have seen a movie longer than 3 hours on the iTMS.

  • Maximum HDD size for Satellite Pro 4290 ??

    My hard disk is wearing out (Win 98 tells me it has many bad sectors). Do I have to fit a 6gig hard disk or can I upgrade? If so, how big a disk will the latest BIOS address?
    I think I need a 2.5" 9.5mm disk, but I don't know if there are any other specifications I have to adhere to.
    ALSO, if I buy a USB hard disk for back-up etc, will the computer see it? Is there a maximum size for external USB disks?
    HELP!!!!
    Mike

    Hi Mike
    There is no precise information or specification about this issue but I am sure that you can use 10 GB HDD without any problems.
    I have two external HDD`s and I have no problem because I use both with USB 2.0. Your unit has just USB1.1 Maybe you should not use HDD with high capacity. I will try to connect my 30GB external HDD to USB1.1. After that I can report you what exactly happens.

  • Maximum HDD size for HP 8510

    Hi,
    I have just bought an 8510p on auction and wanmt to upgrade the HDD from 120GB to 750GB.
    Can nyone tell me if the 8510p can deal with a HDD that size?
    If it can't what is the maximum size that can be installed?
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Based on the following specs, it uses SATA (most likely SATA II) HDD therefore you can use larger (capacity HDD). A 750Gb with 7200RPM will be very nice for this machine:
       http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=...
    You may need to update BIOS for the machine:

  • Is there a maximum viewport size for an EPUB file in iBooks?

    I have noticed that very large viewports sometimes cause iBooks to crash. Is there a maximum size allowed?
    thanks,
    Liz

    The viewport size I use is 512px wide by 768px high for my individual .xhtml pages.  For a two-page spread this would mean the viewport is actually 1024px by 768px.
    Yet I paint my original images for a Children's Read Aloud Fixed Layout ePub at 2048px wide by 1536px high and then cut the painting in half for a two page spread.  This means on the new retina display, my images will look great yet be backward compatible with the original iPad.

  • Is there a maximum PDF size for ios? can handle 2GB?

    I'm creating a very huge pdf file, aprox 2GB
    can it be viewer in an ipad or iphone?.
    Can it be viewer from an Android tablet?
    TnkU

    It sounds very doubtful because mobile devices are usually restricted in memory. And it will depend on each particular device. There is Adobe Reader software for both iOS and Android. Download the free software on each device and try it.
    I'd divide your PDF into smaller files.

  • Maximum hdd size for T60

    I have a T60 type:8744-5BU. I have read on Levono that 160gb is the largest  hdd that is compatible with this unit.
    Will any 2.5" ide drive work?  And what is the SATA that is in the device manager. Will this system use a SATA drive also?  I have down loaded and ran files to enable the sata.

    Welcome to the Forum!
    What you read on the Forum was probably a discussion about T43 or T23 maximum hard drive capacity- perhaps this thread:  http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Legacy-ThinkPads-Z60-61-G40-41-A/Hard-Drive-Capacity-for-T23/m-p/1021013.... Those models utilize PATA or IDE (older technology) hard drives, which capped out at about 320GB.
    Your T60 takes 2.5" 9.5mm SATA hard drives, not PATA hard drives. SATA hard drives are available in capacities much larger than 160GB. They have gone pretty rapidly from 160GB---> 250GB--->320GB--->500GB---> 750GB and are currently available in 1TB (terabyte) capacity. No one seems to have broken the 1TB barrier yet, but who knows what tomorrow holds.
    As for drivers, yes the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Drivers must be installed to enable AHCI (SATA mode) in BIOS versus IDE (compatibility mode). This will allow your laptop to take full advantage of SATA technology and (theoretically) improve drive performance. However, there will be no real noticeable or measurable difference in real world use, especially on a T60, whether operating in AHCI or Compatibility mode. There are lots of discussions you can read up on concerning "AHCI SATA" if you plug such words into the <Search> bar above. 
    Edit: You received an excellent response to your question above just as I was typing. Now you have two answers to your question.
    Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

  • Maximum hdd size for MacBook Pro 17" (late 2006)

    I have macbook pro and looking to upgrade the base HDD of 160GB to maximum supported. I bought this in march 2007, so should be late 2006 model.
    Can someone share the knowledge, if they had upgraded to the bigger HDD? Also what capacity we can go as max?
    Thx

    The only limit you have is about 1TB - now about the largest drives that will fit in notebook computers. Do you really have the need for something so large, though. You could get a good price on a 500-750GB drive and that would increase your internal storage nicely. Your model and OS don't limit you to the size of the hard drive you can install.

  • Is there a maximum website size for iWeb?

    iWeb looked like the answer to my dreams. I needed to put together a website for my consulting business fast…I have another book coming out in a week or two.
    I tried on of those sites where you use their development tools on-line. Big disappointment. Too restricted and wouldn't allow me to be creative. Then I looked at spending $400 (or whatever) for DreamWeaver and go through a long learning curve learning html.
    Then I saw the ad for iWeb. Just what I needed. Mac software. Intuitive to use. A snap to learn. But I am now having problems publishing my iWeb created web-site to my domain. I am not using a .Mac account. The book already has my website listed as bobwallonline.com. Too late to change.
    My Domain size, as measured in Application support, iWeb, is now at 8.7 MB on disk. I am exceeding iWeb's limitations or is the problem to be found with ftp software I'm using to publish my site. (I'm using Web Echo and have had nothing but trouble with it since I got started.)
    So frustrating. I've got the tool that allows me to create just what I had in mind but I can't seem to publish it. Would a Macintosh support person please answer this so that I have a definitive answer as to whether or not I am exceeding iWeb's capabities? Thanks, Bob in Connecticut

    Bob, I also believe that one of the main issues hindering your work is that you have an older computer with very little memory. On another note you should enter your web host via the internet. Log on to your hosting service and delete what ever files are in there. Take your iweb site and save it to a new folder on your desktop. This will put all your files neatly in one location. then use your ftp software to connect to your host and upload your site to the server. Once uploaded make sure your index page shows and your folder. It should work fine after that. If you like to download new FTP software try Interarchy 8.2 it's the one i'm using and it's pretty fast. I got it from the Apple website on their Mac OSX link. Once there go to the downloads Link and on the side bar look for the internet utilities link.
    Hope that helps and good luck.

  • Maximum HDD size for Satellite Pro 6000?

    Hi, I am trying to install a 60 GB HD, but it formats, and it stops at Windows XP Pro instalation.
    Is there a limit to HD size?
    Thanx,
    Ronaldo

    Hi,
    does it stop without any error message? If not then try another copy of WinXP since the Satellite Pro 6000 shouldnt have problems with that harddrive. I had 2 years a similar machine and I also had a 60GB Toshiba HDD installed. It worked like a charm, so I cannot imagine that the harddrive could be the problem.

  • Maximum HDD size for T61

    Hello,
    That 2.5" 9.5mm high 1TB Western Digital SATA hard disk drive will work fine in a T61 or a T61p.  You can even install a Hitachi 5K1500 hard disk drive with 1.5GB of storage.  Both it and the Western Digital drive you linked to are 5400 RPM hard disk drives.  If you would like something faster, Hitachi has the 7K1000, which is a 7200 RPM hard disk drive. 
    The key thing to make sure is that the drive you purchase is no taller than 9.5mm, like the one you selected or the Hitachi models listed above.  Some higher capacity (1TB+) drives come in a 12.5mm or 15mm high enclosure, which won't fit inside a T61 or T61p.

  • Is there a maximum song size for iPods?

    It took me a while to work this out, but it seems the iPod Shuffle has a limit to the length of audio files it can play.
    Due to the pause between tracks, I have encoded a few albums as one 96kbps AAC file per album, which is OK for shorter albums. With the longer ones, though, after maybe 40 minutes or so, the iPod Shuffle starts crackling and stuttering. It seems like after a certain track length or filesize, it can't keep up any more.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know if it affects the iPod Nano or regular iPod too, or is it just due to the simplified design of the Shuffle in particular?
    512MB iPod Shuffle

    I tried that a long time ago, then took the Shuffle back to the Apple store and got it exchanged for another one. Seeing as the second one has the exact same problem, it looks like something that all iPod Shuffles have (or at least the first batches of 512MB versions made early last year).
    Maybe I should experiment a bit more. I suspect the audiobooks you mention would be much lower bitrates and mono. That would suggest it's probably a limitation due to the filesize in bytes rather than the length of the file in seconds.
