You need your bios to be upgraded via flash, to allow the bios to accomidate a larger hard drive that was not in manufacturer when the motherboard was tested and sold and/or computer. Although most motherboards have autorecognition of the Cylinder, Head, and Sector geometry (CHS) tables to translate the hard drive to Pio 1, 2, or 3 this might not be the case for your bios/motherboard and subsequently requires this or a bios translator such as EZ Drive or Ontrack. Good Luck
