-> I am trying to use EZ-BIOS (that comes with a Western Digital hard
-> drive via EZ-Drive) to overcome BIOS limitations on a larger than 520
-> Mb hard drive.

-> Does anyone know of any conflict between EZ-BIOS and Windows NT's?

If EZ-BIOS is along the same lines as "Disk Manager" (the partitioning
software that came with my WD 1.6 GB hard drive), the documentation
should indicate that using the software under Win9x/NT isn't the way to
do it.

When I installed 95 onto my machine, I had to do four things, since I
was using Disk Manager on my DOS/Win3.1 machine.

1) Complete backup.
2) Purchased an "intelligent" controller card that handles the hard
   drive, allowing me to use the full 1.6 GB capacity without the Disk
   Manager
3) FDISK the drive to my specs, and format all partitions
4) Installed 95
