  You are going to need a program that will overlay the hard drive to LBA
settings.  This will work even if your computer does not support LBA.

  These programs come in many flavors.  Although I only recommend EZ Drive
from Microhouse.  Programs like DrivePro and Disk Manager do the job, but
EZ Drive is much easier to repair.  This is from a person who works
retrieving data all day.

  If you need a copy of EZ Drive, go to the manufacturer of the hard
drive's Web Site and down load their Drive Overlay program, or if they do
not have EZ Drive, go to Microhouse's Web Site at www.microhouse.com
