<<<<I just installed a new Western Digital hard drive and now my A drive
doesn't work. When I go to MY COMPUTER and click on A the computer freezes
up. >>>>

as far as I know "A" drive is normally the floppy drive and any problem with it should be indicated by an error msg during post (press f1? to continue or del? to enter set up)

<<<The computer originally
had a 60 MB drive but the new one is 160 MB (only 127MB recognized>>>

shouldn't this be GB? if so again IMHO, quite a big increase and perhaps the mobo does not support such a large drive?

FWIW and good day----Venkat
