bios only finds 8 out o' 20

[Guest]

I just got a IBM 15gig 75gxp, and my bios on my good ole Tyan Tiger2 440lx only finds 8gigs. I got the final bios revision but still no luck.
Any comments will be appreciated.

Looks like your board doesn't support the int13 extensions required for drives larger than 8.4gb.

Check out the manufacturers website, they may have software (like WD's EZ-BIOS) which installs onto the HDD and gets around the problem.

Go to http://www.storage.ibm.com/techsup/hddtech/welcome.htm Go down to Disk manager 2000. Download that it should take care of your problem

LIke the last guy said. One point-Disk manager will repartition you drive, BIOS will still se at at a smaller size, but Windows will be able to use all of it.
