Hello,
I recently obtained an older computer with a 1.3GB hard drive. I put
in another 8GB hard drive - however when the computer boots up it
freezes when it detects the 8GB hard drive. I've tried many
combinations with just the 8GB in, 1.3.GB as master, 8GB as master,
all with the same results. Only the 1.3GB drive by itself seems to
work.
Could this be a BIOS limitation?
The computer specs are as follows:
Processor: Intel Pentium 150 Mhz
RAM: 32MB (x2 16MB SIMMs)
Hard Drive: Seagate 1.3GB (using FAT32 file system)
Video: 1MB Trident PCI
Sound: ISA 16bit PNP Sound Blaster Pro
Keyboard: AT
Mouse: Serial
Operating System: Windows 98 SE (upgraded from Windows 95 before I
obtained it)
BIOS - screen tells me American Megatrends copyright 1996.
Any ideas?
