However, many stated that the BIOS would not see it as the full 20GB, Windows NT would. Any thoughts?

I found a parts list for the e50, and it appears that the box will accept IDE hard drives. I also read elsewhere that the e50 does not support IDE drives. Which is true? What is the size limitation?

Consequently it is not supported by HP.<BR />From attempts by other customers it would appear that the E50 System BIOS can only see an 8-9 GB IDE drive.
