audee Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Have a question, need some comment plz.. thankz :) If a system can only detect the maximum harddisk size 20gb (old system), what will happen if i insert another hdd, say 40gb? Will i spoil the 40gb hdd if i continue to use it even though the sytem does not recognise the hdd as 40gb.. and instead sees it as a 20gb hdd? Pls comment.. thank you very much!! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 You will simple not be able to create a larger than 20 gigabytes partition on the drive. This should not affect the actual drive in any way, but it does feel like a waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Why cant it detect anything more than 20GB, could you not flash the bios to recognise it?
