Hi,
I have a old computer configuration with Pentium 166 MMX and 6 GB of
hardisk.
This has not been of much use lately.

I was wondering if there is any limit on the size of the Hard disk
that can be attached to this. If I attach a recent 160GB hdd to this,
will it work?

Regards,
Rajat

The presumptive age of your computer suggests that it probably will not
be able to see more than the first 32GB of an IDE drive. It might even
be limited to 8.4GB. Identifying the BIOS and its date might give more
clues.

6GB seems like plenty of storage for that machine. It's not like you're
going to use it as a media center. It won't even be an acceptable web
browser. What is it that you intend it to do?
