Hi Steve,

in my System ( Asus CUBX-E with Promise onboard UDMA100) there are three
Maxtor 160, two on the Promise and one on the onboard. All three works
fine. The promise shows not the real size at boot time, but all three
have full 153 GB space shown in KDiskFree. So it doesnīt matter that the
promise donīt show the real size.
