This CD recorder with hard drive has a 137Gb limitation. Any chance you know how to upgrade its system bios/controller so that it can recognize >137GB? Sorry, this is a bit of a Hail Mary.

137 gig is a classic maxium harddrive limit for older BIOSes. Yamaha does not have a public firmware upgrade avalibe. since there is no way to flash the bios, it is impossible to upgrade it :-/
