160 gb drive in old system

[Rusty Shackleford]

I changed all the jumpers to cable select and I found a bios upgrade (the
system originally came with windows 98) and now it is working fine.  For
future reference when did computers stop having the problem with drives over
137 gb or is that pretty much a microsoft thing?
