Some old computers need software like "Ontrack Disk Manager" in order to see large disks in the other OS. The way to deal with such setup in Linux was to add "hdX=remap63" to the kernel arguments. However, I cannot find the equivalent of this option in the new libata-based drivers. Could you please show how to migrate such systems to libata without removing the disk manager? -- Alexander E.
