Q1
Will my old motherboard support SATA2 or large capacity hard disks?

Motherboard with 2Mb BIOS EPROM will be able to support large capacity hard disks.

However, not all the motherboard will be able to support SATA2 hard disks.

Please refer the user manual or manufacture's website for the hard drive's jumper setting to make hard disk support SATA1 mode. Then motherboard will be able to detect it properly.
