What? I'm supposed to remember that stuff? Check you user manual, or the
label on the drive itself. I suppose you should also take care to get
a drive that *has* a capacity limit jumper. I certainly seen a lot of
drives that have them, but I wouldn't guess that it's universal.

The Maxtor drives in the past with this feature, have all had explicit
Capacity Limit Jumpers (CLJ) I suspect that those Maxtors with only 8
(instead of 10) jumper pins may not have that capability. The Hitachi
manages with only 8, but the setup is not obvious in the way the Maxtors
used to be.
At any rate, it looks as if the capacity limit feature is not as
important, or at least advertised, as it once was. My recommendation to
you is to round up a list of acceptable drives, and contact the
manufacturers to confirm the presence of that feature. Be careful not
to take answers that are just pulled from their ***, as oft they do.
It probably won't matter anyhow. My bet is that your PC can handle
120GB with no pain. I'm almost certain that I have a drive around here
that does have a capacity limiter, so if you get in a jam up, maybe I
can help.

Aha, I found the one I have that has a Capacity Limit Jumper. It's a
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB, ST380011A. Which, of course, you
probably won't be able to find to purchase.
Also, I'm virtually certain that the Maxtor 6Y080P0 80GB has a cap
limit. I can't explicitly find that in Maxtor/Seagate literature, but I
recall that drive having a limit, and a google image search turns up a
drive with a label describing how to set the cap limit.
I have one of these as well, but it's currently bolted into an xbox,
that's bolted into a under-tv component mount.

That could be a DiamondMax 21 drive. They show "CLJ" or capacity
limit jumper, in the all purpose picture here.
