The problem that you will encounter is that the Bios is probably too old
to accept hard drives larger than 8.4Gb, and an [BIOS] upgrade will fix
that. IMO, a bios upgrade is preferable to having to use the disk manager
program that comes with the hard drive.

Question: Can't any BIOS HDD size limitation also be eliminated by
partitioning the hard drive into logical partitions of a size equal or
less than the BIOS limitation?
