hard drive size

« on: October 03, 2007, 03:59:35 PM »

anyone know how large a harddrive i can use with my mobo?
It's an Asus A7N8Xe deluxe.
It's a little older now, and not sure how big a hard drive i can put on it.......160 Gig?.....200 Gig?
I'm kinda retarded at reading all the techonbabble on the asus site.

any comments for the retard? huh

I think it's more dependent upon your operating system than the mobo. If you have XP, or XP with SP1, you'll have problems with larger disks, I think. If you have SP2, then you should be fine.

Are you planning to reload the OS, or just add a disk?

i have XP sp2.

probably just adding the disk. not sure what the benefits would be by reloading o/s on new disk unless it was a faster disk.

using an 80 gig now, and i can't find my install disk #1 for my bf2, so i think i have to keep it, otherwise, i would just go with a new HD altogether.

I have 5. Two for winders/apps in a raid 0, one I had planned to add to make it raid 5, but haven't yet done so, and two for music/video. And that doesn't count the 1TB NAS, the 500GB usb or the other two computers.

Although, I bet Jerry was just talking about his primary drives, not all his data drives, right? grin
