I am planning to buy a big capacity external USB hard drive (200GB), but I've heard that if my BIOS does not support that capacity (200 GB in this case), my system may not see that Hard drive eventhough it is externally plugged to my USB port. Is that true?
I have an HP Vectra VLi8 Pentium III 450MHZ 384MB RAM (Mainboard chipset is Intel i443zx).
Thanks for replies.
