搞定了!
在老主板的机器,不支持48BIT LBA的机器上安装大硬盘,首先要用WD带的光盘启动机器, 安装WD的软件,对大硬盘设置选用Win2k+sp4或winxp+sp1,然后系统就认大硬盘的所有容量和分区了.
这种老主板,用魔法兔子似乎不起作用.

1)bios里能识别wd 250G硬盘的型号,但不能识别出真实容量(只给出33G)
2)我说的是如果不先安装光盘软件,而是安装win2k+sp4之后安装windows下的wd软件则不行.即使用魔法兔子做什么也不行(实际上,win2k+sp4的系统已经能够支持大硬盘了,但还是不行)

EIDE drives are not detected by the system BIOS.
Question
Why is my EIDE drive not detected by the system BIOS?
Answer
When a drive is not detected by the system BIOS, there are several possible causes ?a physical configuration problem, BIOS limitation, or defective hardware.
Configuration Problems
The BIOS will not detect your drive if the cable connection is not correct. If you are using an Ultra ATA cable (80-conductor) make sure that the Master or Single drive is on the black end connector. Connect any Slave device present to the gray middle connector. Finally, the blue end connector should be connected to the motherboard or EIDE controller card. If you are using a standard 40-conductor data cable, connect the Master device to one end, the Slave to the middle and the other end to the motherboard. In all cases, make sure that pin 1 on the data cable is aligned with pin 1 on the motherboard and pin 1 on the drive. For Western Digital drives, pin one is located closest to the power cable.
Incorrect Jumper Settings will also prevent the BIOS from detecting your drive. The most common incorrect jumper setting used is for a drive that is alone on the data cable. Keep in mind that the concept of Master/Slave applies to a given EIDE channel. If there are two drives on the data cable, one must be Master and one designated as Slave. If the drive is the only device on the cable, it should be jumpered as a Single drive, NOT a Master. To do this, place a jumper shunt on pins 4 & 6, or remove the jumper shunt completely to set the drive as a Single drive.
BIOS Limitations
If you have an older computer system, the BIOS may hang or freeze while auto detecting the drive. You may need to use the Alternate Jumper Settings. See Answer ID 83 for details.
If the system BIOS is only recognizing 528MB, 2.1GB, 8.4GB, 32GB, 64GB of the drive, or something significantly less then the actual capacity of the drive, your motherboard may not support large capacity drives. If this is the case, you may need to use Data Lifeguard Tools 11 as part of your installation.
Windows NT/2000/XP
Do not use the Alternate Jumper Settings. Consider either a BIOS upgrade, an EIDE controller card, or setting up the drive with Data Lifeguard Tools 11 to provide support for the drive.
Windows 95/98/ME
you can follow the instructions below to configure your drive.
Enter the system BIOS.
Typically, a message is displayed on the screen after the memory count of the boot process telling you how to enter Setup (Systems BIOS). We have listed several common access methods in Answer ID 536.
Select User or User defined drive type and enter 1023 cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 sectors for the drive parameters.
If your BIOS has additional settings other than Cylinders, Heads, and Sectors, enter 0 for them.
Next, you will have one of two Mode options, LBA Mode or IDE Translation Mode. You will need to set this to Normal, Standard CHS, or LBA Disabled. You may not see all three options.
Once the above is completed, the BIOS will report a drive capacity of either 504MB or 528MB. This is normal. The above settings simply trick your BIOS into thinking the drive is smaller then it really is, allowing the computer to boot with the drive connected. The full capacity of the drive will be available once the Data Lifeguard Tools disk is used to install, partition, and format the drive.
Defective Hardware
If you have determined that your configuration and BIOS are not at fault, the drive may be defective. Attempt to test the drive using our DLG Diagnostic utility. It is available as part of our Data Lifeguard Tools 11 software.
If possible, connect a different but similar capacity drive to see if the BIOS detects it. If so, it is likely that the drive is defective and should be replaced.
