Thanks Joe. Do you think this was a BIOS limitation problem? I doubt it.
The deceased motherboard was actually more recent than the one the drive
is on now, and both BIOS' recognized the drive.

Perhaps there was Disk Manager or other such abomination on it? I really
would not know. Is there something I could look for in the raw data on
the disk, to possibly determine if a disease like that was installed?

I looked at the 4GB limit part, but although this drive is >4GB that
does not seem to apply. This is a 15-head drive, but from reading that I
understand that the 4GB limit only applies to 16-head drives.

Thanks for the input.
