Installation of Maxtor 4GB Drives in Trent
Based Machines
The current Maxtor 'Chrystal Max' 4GB drive (84320A8) can be installed
on Trent based machines with the lastest version of 'Max*Blast' - version 9.00M. Max*Blast
is an IDE hard drive installation and upgrade utility and version 9.00M is currently
available on the Maxtor BBS 'Maxblast.exe' (396K).
A further change to the BIOS settings must be made in order for this
drive to operate as a 4GB upgrade. The Extended CHS option (IDE Drive Setup in Devices and
I/O Ports) must be switched to 'Standard CHS'. Without this change the drive will only
appear as 2GB.
