Hard disk limits

There has been many limits to hard disk sizes. Some of them are caused by mainboards and some by the operating systems. Here is one comment about them:

"The 32GB bug in Award BIOS that prevents many users from using HDD larger than 32GB (BIOS hangs at detection) can be easily fixed in existing BIOSes. This means that if there's no BIOS for your board that supports HDDs over 32GB but supports up to 32GB, it can be fixed. The 64GB bug that causes hang at configuration table can be also fixed. Fixed and tested BIOSes will be on this page."

I have collected some of the most common BIOSes here in University of Turku, to my public area

If you find either good BIOSes or information about the hard disk limits, please send me ! My email is below.
