Had the same issue with the P3B-F as mentioned in this thread when I tried to connect a 250GB IDE drive. I used SeaTools for DOS and limited the size to 137GB (267000000 LBAs) 😀

Made this video and devoted it to you: http://youtu.be/D__2uIai0cU

Being able to turn a modern drive into a drive with ANY capacity is such a useful trick 😀

Not sure why I didn't think of it and stuck with the 32 GB option.

Nice 😀 Thanks I guess hehe

I tried to use the full 268435456 size on my ASUS board, but that did not work. I had to go down to 26700000 LBAs. so dunno what the actual limit is. Could be that it is listed in megabytes in the BIOS which screws up some calculation.

Yes it's good to have a bit of a buffer I guess 😀
