What's the brand of HD? Generally you can go to the HD manufacturer (Maxtor,
etc..) and get a utility that will "fool" the bios into the correct setting.

Subject: [PCBUILD] 10g recognised as 2g in windows


Hi, can anyone help me with yet another problem?
I have a computer which is working fine and running win98, although when I
look into programs/accessories/systemtools/drivespace, it tells me that
there is 2g unused and 0g used on C:
Obviously, this is wrong. I have loaded quite a few programs onto the hard
drive (C), and it was working fine. The last time I loaded a program, the
computer would no longer start up. It got as far as starting windows, then
shut down and restarted, going on to scan because windows hadn't shut down
properly. This happened repeatedly.
I was able to boot into safe mode, and removed the last program I loaded,
and suprise, suprise, it now starts.
I had suspected this was the problem. I am under the impression now that
this is an older bios and won't recognise any hdd over 2g.
It still says 0gig has been used and 2gig is unused.
