DL-370 G1 (p17) internal IDE hard disk size limit ?

[hello67]

I have installed a 250 Go IDE Hard disk in a DL-370. The disk is formated with NTFS and contains data. It was formally installed on a desktop before being moved into the server.
When accessing to some of the folders the following error message is displayed : "The file or directory is corrupted and uneadable."
I have placed the disk into an external USB HD device and the data is now readable...
Do you know if there are some known issues with large capacity IDE hard disk for the DL-370 (P17) servers ?

PS : The server bios is the very last version available.

Oups, I meant ML-370 !

I cannot say for the ML370 specifically but IDE is not usually supported on Proliants for anything other than the CD drive. I assume this is a G1?

However, try the HP Forum link below which may contain some useful links:

Yes this is a ML370 G1.
I had a look in meantime in all possible options for such server : never any IDE disk extention is mentioned anywhere. The only internal disk described are always scsi. Then I guess it is simply not possible.
Thanks for the hint !

I had connected the HD to the IDE already used for the CD-Rom.
