Hi there,
I thought that if I added a Sonnet ATA 133 Card to a G4 500 Mhz desktop machine, I would be able to use hard drives above 128Gb in size..
But it seems that I was only able to partition the first 128Gb of this drive I installed a system onto.
Is there something else I need to do.. ? Any ideas about what is going on ?
Do I need a *serial* ATA card to use larger drives in the G4 500Mhz ?
Also... I did happen to buy an SATA card to use (also in this G4 500 machine).. and am wondering.. can anyone tell me if this should work with the G4 500 and a Sonnet SATA card:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3250824AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
thanks
