Thanks Dave and Conor. So to take care of the BIOS problem, I have to essentially find out the brand of motherboard, go to the website and see if they have any updates which take cares of this issue. Am I right?
For 48-bit LBA, google search lead me to http://www.48bitlba.com/, which says that it depends on the OS etc. I was planning to run XP Home w/ SP2, so the problem might be taken care of.
Am I missing something?
