    I thought that one could use HDD space up to the 137GB limit. However, search the WD knowledge base for "137GB". This provides some good explanations about what will and will not work plus some suggested work-arounds.

    I think you should be able to make it work if you make the primary partition less than 137GB. I would recommend making it about 40 or so.

    If not, you may be able to use drive jumpers to make it work, but it might not have full capacity.
