127 gb limit with Promise Ultra100 tx2

[jasonmb99]

I've got a Athlon 1ghz and an Abit KT-7 RAID mobo. I'm running both a WD 250gb and a 30 gb off the mobo and a WD 100 gb off the Promise card. I recently added a Seagate 200 gb to the second slot on the promise card but XP doesn't recognize anything but 127 gb from the Seagate. Does anyone know if the Promise Ultra100 tx2 will support drives bigger than 127? I ran Promise's latest flash .exe for the card but it didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks!

The card SHOULD support it, but your best off emailing Promise tech support to be sure.

You also need to have AT LEAST WinXP SP1 or Win2K SP3 installed.

Okay, I figured it out if anyone else has this problem. I switched my new drive to the secondary off the mobo and then let Windows recognize the full size and repartitioned and reformatted it. I then switched the drive so it was connected through the Promise card and it also recognized it correctly.
