Hello People, So, if I come upon a bios which won't recognize large hard drives, what error message will I receive? any? I stuck a new 6.1 gig with win98 pre-loaded into a machine, tried to boot, used the boot disk, went into fdisk and under file system, it said Unknown. The machine is a somewhat older Packard Bell with a bios date of 1992. I would tell you the message it gave me when I tried to boot but I forgot at the moment and only "tried" it once before coming home. I do know the machine was running win95A on a 1.5 gig maxtor beforehand and ran fine. But then again, in Cmos, it recognizes the hard drive just fine. Does it just not know what Fat 32 is? Thanks David A. Abbe ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
