I am having trouble getting a 160gb hard drive to work in the TC4200. I am getting message "Error loading operating system."

(The drive was cloned using Acronis TrueImage 10.0.)

Does anyone know if the TC4200 has the 128gb maximum hard drive size limitation, and if so is there a way around it?

Thanks for any help.

I'm replying to my own post!

I cloned a 120gb hard drive and it is working fine.

Since a similarly cloned 160gb drive didn't work, I strongly believe that the TC4200 faces a 137gb limit on hard drive size.

I am running the latest BIOS (F0.E).

Having read a little about this, I think that this means that the TC4200 does not support 48-bit LBA.

I would be very happy if someone could tell me otherwise and instruct me how to overcome this barrier; then I could put a 250gb drive in the TC4200. Oh, joy!
