    I bought a 160 GB HDD for a Travelmate 800 but I only get 128 GB.
    The limitation seems to be in the BIOS, and currently I'm using version 4A20 which is the latest one AFAIK.

    Is there there a BIOS available with 48-bit LBA support?

    I didn't think that a Pentium M computer could have this old limitation... :(
