Chipset Solutions for Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 and XP

Intel 8xx Series Chipsets:

 Intel offers drivers to support the full capacity of drives 

larger than 137 GB on motherboards equipped with the Intel 810, 810E, 810E2, 
815, 815, 815E, 815EP, 815P, 820, 820E, 830M, 830MP, 830MG, 840, 845, 850, or 
860 chipset. The Intel Application Accelerator is compatible with Windows 98SE, 
Me, 2000, and XP operating systems. The latest version of the driver can be 
downloaded from www.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/. If you are not sure what 
kind of chipset your motherboard has, contact your system or motherboard 
manufacturer.

If you are building a new system, you can use a bootable MaxBlast CD or diskette 
to partition and format large drives to their full capacity. Choose the “Set Up Your 
Hard Disk” button from the Main Menu, then select the “Advanced Installation” 
option during the install. After the drive has been partitioned and formatted, you 
can install Windows onto your system. Once Windows has been successfully 
installed, you should immediately download and install the Intel Application 
Accelerator before putting your system into regular use.

Other Chipsets:

 Some motherboards and PCI ATA cards equipped with VIA, SiS, 

ALi, HighPoint, and Promise chipsets may have drivers or updates that will 
allow you to access the full capacity of a drive larger than 137 GB, so contact 
your chipset, system, or motherboard manufacturer to see if they have drivers 
available for your operating system. If not, Maxtor recommends purchasing a 
Maxtor Ultra ATA/SATA PCI combo card from www.maxstore.com or your local 
computer retailer.
