  Various generations of systems have had drive size limitations at
about 500MB, 2GB, and 8GB.  If your motherboard is as old as your
CPU, odds are good that its original BIOS has at least the latter
constraint.  The manufacturer may have an update available that will
correct this, but even that is not terribly likely.

  Sorry -- I expect that both the 10.2GB and 14.4GB drives are likely
to be seen, if you're lucky, as 8GB by your system.
