I would follow the instructions directly from Western Digital instead.
I can't remember BIOS limitations from around that time, but you
should be limited to at most 8G (total), so it is still a very big issue...
(Win95A will cause you more grief if you still use that version.)

I have never had a WD drive I could not install following their instructions.
Sometimes (when there is a problem), you have to refer to their special
BIOS limitation special jumper "over-ride" settings section.
I am going to assume you will have to use a DiskManager type of
program, unless you get an add-in card for onboard BIOS.
(Be real careful to get one for your exact OS (and your "next one")
if you go this route...)            Rick Glazier

> By the way, in anticipation of potential problems installing a new HD with an AMI BIOS dated mid-1995, I followed instructions in
Bigelow's PC Repair and Maintenance book about having the HD auto-detected by the BIOS and then manually adjust the cylinder and
head numbers to work around the lack of BIOS support for such a large drive.
