G4 not registering full size of scratch disk

[muck]

I have a G4 desktop top that only sees 127GB of my scratch disk. Is there a solution for this? It does not have the Intel processor.

If you have a Graphite G4 or first generation QuickSilver, software is your only solution:

You can access large drive in 127 GB chunks / volumes with this.

or put in a S-ATA controller

I really hope your G4 doesn't have an Intel CPU.

This is the recommended software solution.

Hardware solution would be SATA card and drives.

thanks for all the replies!
I looked at speedtools earlier.

Now i see the post about the sata card and drives.
Edit: Is this an example of the sata card you are talking about? If so, would i run both hard drives off of it? Also, i looked at my hard drives and they do not have a sata connector on them. They use the old grey flat style wire, (sorry for the lack of technical terms) I know enough to be dangerous....

To use these above 127GB, you will need either a software solution as mentioned, or a Mac compatible ATA-133 card like this one.
