dellhell, we do appreciate your contribution - thank you. On numerous occasions I've seen posts on WinDrivers saying people have found the answer to their current problem in an older topic, so it's always good to have such information available.

And please guys, I don't see the point in arguing with dellhell's experience. A BIOS with the Phoenix bitshift algorithm bug for example can report the size of a large drive correctly, operate normally for as long as no access beyond 137G is required, but the instant it is it all falls in a heap. A BIOS update that correctly implements 48bit LBA could cure this.
