Hello,
I'm trying to use a 16GB SATA SSD with DOS/Win9x using a Startech SATA to IDE adapter. For whatever reason the BIOS only sees it as a 4.2GB drive so it limits my partition size. When I use an IDE-based SD card reader though I am able to see and use the entire size of the card regardless of whether it's 16GB, 32GB or 64GB so it can't be a BIOS limitation. Is there something with the older BIOSs that do not like the SATA to IDE adapters or is there something I am missing about how SSDs work with old BIOSs VS IDE SD cards?
Thanks.
