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
