Hello all!
             I'm stumped..Recently I upgraded a 166 pentium's Hard drive
from 1.5 gig to a 2.1 gig Seagate Medalist. The bios (dated 8-6-96 )
detected it perfectly. I then installed win95 which picked up the drive as
503meg, despite the proper bios designation. I fdisked,reformatted, etc,
etc, and reloaded win. and still got 503 mb. Well, I re fdisked and put in
win98. Same problem. Normally, despite my newness to the tech aspects, I can
get past most things like this. Not this time!! Can anybody out there give
me a little advice? Please???
Thanks in advance..
