  Hi

 I recently installed a Western 850MB hard drive on my PC.

 Windows 95 will only view or use 528,171,008 Bytes of the disc.

 I am also hoping to fit a second hard drive a Maxtor model 7345AT, 350MB

 I have been reading the information on the EIDEMAX the universal EIDE BIOS
 upgrade kit. It seems this unit would allow me to use all the 850MB.

 If that is the case does that mean the Western 850MB disc has NOT to be
 reformatted, all I have to do is to install the EIDEMAX, and I will be
able
 to maintain all the current data on the disc.

 Will it be also, all right for me to fit the Maxtor model 7345AT 350MB
disc
 as a second Hard drive.

 The computer has :

 ALI 486 VESA MOTHER BOARD.     With a 80486DX2 CPU
                        2 FLOPPY DRIVES a 3.5 and a 5.25
                        A CD ROM
                        PT-528 VGA DISPLAY CARD
                        Windows 95 operating system

 I would appreciate any help in resolving this problem

 TIA
