First of all, check your motherboard documentation. Your motherboard needs to have 48-bit LBA support in order to support large hard drives. If your motherboard does not support it, look for a BIOS update.

If no BIOS updates are available, you need to buy an ATA controller card, such as the Promise Ultra100 TX2, that supports large hard drives.
