Hi alkestra,

Usually the motherboard BIOS and/or chipset determines the size limitation. What size drive are you planning on using?

I searched everywhere, and couldn't find out what the max size of drive you can put on that board.
There are reports that it supports a 40 gig, but nothing bigger...
You may have to contact Epox directly to find out, if it doesn't say anything in the manual. I couldn't find anything in the online manual about hard drive size either.

Hi reboot
Like you said I will have to ask epox about hard drive size, but thanks for having a look around for the answer.
