RE: [cobalt-users] Adding a second hd to a RAQ1

I always thought the bios limitation was always 1024 cylinders and not 1027?
But I will call cobalt tech-support anyway.

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.
