In the many years of working with computers, I've seen some strange and
wonderful things happen with large hard drives.

Most noticibly when installing a large (40gb) into a system that didnt
support drives that big, the bios would not recognise it so I didnt bother
setting the bios up at all.

When I installed the disk management software, the whole 40gb drive was
recognised without any settings in the bios for it at all.

Must be magic or something.
