Your motherboard BIOS must be able to support this large disk. Look in
your manual or on your motherboard mftr.'s website. If your motherboard
does not support such a large hard drive, there may be a BIOS update
available. If you do not know what you are doing about this, please be
very careful. If you flash your BIOS incorrectly and/or with the wrong
update, you will have a doorstop. If there is no BIOS update available,
you will have to buy a pci controller card for the drive.

Good luck,
