Mike, IF your version of Phoenix is 1.01, then it won't support any drives above 2.1 GB. I have a friend that tried to upgrade those same computers for two different people. The solution was to get a new Bios chip from Micro Firmware. It was 79.00 (no shipping charges), and was delivered in two business days. You have to give them your model number. (usually a series of numbers that begin with "8".) If you need the number I can give it to you via private e-mail.
