Well you're not going to get 180gb anyway...

And why do you say nobody goes to the tech forum? Obviously you don't. :D

It's called 48-bit IDE mode. And unless you have a newer board or a PCI add in card, you can't do it. Most BIOS controllers are set for 32-bit only, so anything larger you need to upgrade the BIOS (if you can), get a new board or get an add in card.

Both of the 200gb drives I've used required a card even though the onboard controller was supposed to handle the 48bit drives.
