How many GB in size can my HDD be Dell Dimension 8100 support?
Hi..
My Dell Dimension 8100 1.3 system current has two hard disk drive bithe the primary and the slave are 60gb each. Can I put in a 160gb as master and use a 60mb as a slave.I haven't got a clue how large (GB) I can go. bios is A09.
Current HDD Maxtor (two 60's) Diamond Max Plus 9 Ultra ata/133
Can you send me to a site which will give me the info. or fill me in as to what I can install ... An example HDD would be great as well, I'm also worried about compatibilty with the Maxtor I want to use.
I thought DEll would have info... but somehow I think they have dropped much of the Dimension 8100.
Many thanks

There is no 80G limit - there is a 137G limit on some systems (those that do not support the INT13 extensions), but the newer 8100 BIOSes don't have this limit.

Version: A07
Release Date: 06-12-01
The following changes have been made to BIOS rev A06 to create A07:
1. Fixed potential corruption in system setup screens when accessing help.
2. Updated the USB and S3 resume code to fix win98 S3 problems.
3. Fixed problem with bang on System Device for ACPI BIOS in device
manager after suspend/resume with USB emulation on.
4. Updated the PCI cache line size to 64 bytes for onboard devices.
5. Added IOAPIC support.
6. NEW FEATURE: Enhanced Selectable Boot in system setup.
Desc: Our select boot implementation has changed in three ways:
1. A device may disappear (ex. removable HD) but will not be
removed from the list.
2. Similar devices (class codes are the same) can replace each other.
3. Added devices are added to the end of the attempt list.
7. Fixed multiple issues in Win98SE with USB and S3 resumes
8. Updated SMBIOS table fields for AGP, Max CPU speed, and Max memory size.
9. Added 48-bit LBA support for large IDE drives.
10. Fix WIN 98/ME RESTART hang.
11. Updated USB Emulation to fix potential device insert/disconnect issues.
12. Add functions to the INT 15 Remote Lockout interface.
