I have a lot of those, one or two for each drive. 

Whenever I put in a larger HD I get a message like no storage device aka HD available??? I tried an 80 and a 100 and a 160 and none are recognized. Are they formatted incorrectly?  Only the 40 is recognized.  Need some help here.

Stopped in my warehouse today and thought I would do an experiment.

First, there is a limitation of 137GB for the HDD.

I tried a 320GB, 250GB and a 160GB HDD and they all were seen in the BIOS as 137GB.

The 120GB HDD was seen as a 120GB HDD.

Have you had any success yet???

My Bios A06 shows at 'primary hard drive'=none available!!!!

Are my HD's formatted incorrectly? I checked with my other 4 puters and they don't recognize them either, of course most are 64bit Win 10's.  

@emonnie 

The drives I tested were fresh DOD wiped without being formatted.

The BIOS still sees them with no format!!!

Sounds like the drives may be bad???

Under device info///Primary HD=none available.

Have another one coming shortly and will use it to check it out.  

I received a new 100gig HD and it shows up on the bios just fine, BUT I cannot get my OS to load from the CD drive. Tried several different CD's. XP pro, 2000pro and Win 7 but none would load up. Set the system to run from CD drive first. The drive lights flash and it spins but just sits there. What do I need to do?

Thanks to all for the help. 

That was the problem, bad drive. It is now loading Win 2000 Pro. Will later load Win 7 Pro 32 bit. Had it on the 40Gb drive but no more room.
