OK, I changed the Max to 90,774 from the specs and the most I was getting was 64Gigs. The geometry was pre-calculated for me based on the MAX size. The system dumped out 10 drives but I was only able format 4 @ 16gigs..the rest kept giving my DOS errors.
So this is what I did:
90,774 =64.9 Gigs
X = 300 gigs
===========
X= 419,602
I entered this new number and was now able to get 3 drives @ 75Gigs (225).
1 for APPs, 1 for OS, 1 for Audio & Projects
I suspect the limitation is on OS addressing side.
(Note the actual size of this HD is 279gig)
still, 225 Gigs is not bad right?
