Hi all you HDD gurus!
I tried installing a brand new DTLA-307045 (46.1Gb) in a friends old Quantex P2-350 (LX mobo) last night and had a wasted 60 mile trip!
First, the mobo wouldn't detect the HDD (just hung). When I used the 32Gig clip mode it was recognised as a 32Gig drive just fine.
(I presume from this that 32Gig is a limitation of LX?)
I used Ghost to clone the old 20Gig onto the new and it rebooted ~95% of the way through a 12Gig clone. I tried again and the same happened.
I am using it now in my system (spec below) without a hitch, except Norton does a physical benchmark of ~15mb/sec whereas my 20Gig drive does twice that. It is very quiet - maybe it is set to spin slow by default?
Can anyone suggest if I have any chance of making this work in my friends system, and how?
Cheers, Tony.
