Note. DOS systems are not able to access more than 528 Mbytes unless:

1)the host system supports and is configured for LBA addressing or for extended CHS addressing, or 2) the host system contains a specialized drive controller, or 3) the host system runs BIOS trans- lation software. In addition, older BIOSs cannot address more than 2.1 Gbytes (more than 4,096 cylinders) on a single partition. If you encounter this problem with the ST92255AG, divide the drive into two partitions or upgrade your BIOS. Please contact your Seagate representative for additional information.
