Folks:
I would like to ask a follow up question to the original that is available
below.
* If I already have important data on the Hard Drive (200G capacity on
an older machine that accesses only 36G) will I lose any of this information
after installing a controller card that allows my hard drive to eventually
gain access to all 200G of its total capacity ?
Thanks,
Jo.

QUESTION -----------------------------------------------------------
Recently bought a 200G hard drive and slapped it into an older machine.
This older machine can only recognize 36 G of the HD.
* How can I force this older machine to recognize the entire 200 G
capacity of the hard drive ?
Someone suggested that I use some sort of controller
card.
Is this true & if so explain briefly
how the controller card solves the problem?
Thanks,
Jo.
