    Hello all,

    I have more questions:) Does anyone knows whats maximum HDD size for 2.2 Release to install on? I tried 4 different drives from 320-500GB but after install it stuck on boot F1. But when i partition it to cca 130GB it works fine.

    Cheers!

      It sounds like a limitation or incorrect setting on your motherboard. If it is very old (~2003 or older) it may not support 48-bit LBA which limits you to 137GB.

      Check the bios for enable LBA, large LBA etc. Sadly bios vendors tend to not use consistent terms or locations for the setting if it exists.
