I tried it, seemed to work fine. Only problem I had is that fdisk reports

Someone know why this happens? It's a RaQ3 btw.

Old bios. Versions of bios' changed. Some will only give you 528MB for a large hard drive, others limit it to 8 GB. You might want to try Cobalt and see if they have a newer bios for you model. And ask how large it will handle.

But the basic answer it that it is the bios.
