The 528-Megabytes Barrier
Older BIOS that only support Int 13 commands for accessing ATA drives
through DOS based operating systems will be limited to use only 1024
cylinders. This will reduce the effective capacity of the drive to
528Mbytes.
Whenever possible the Maxtor Quickview 40 20/30/40GB AT drive
should be used on systems that support LBA translation to ensure the
use of the entire capacity of the disk drive. If that is not possible the
following are some techniques that can be used to overcome this
barrier.
Mounting Screws
Mounting Bracket
ATA-Bus Interface Cable
