Hi all, I wanted to install a new hhd in the 5000US, replacing the old 30G hhd. The new drive has already been partitioned into C and D with Win98. (This might be cause of the problem) I have an old copy of Drive Image, so I cloned old C on to the new C, and the old D on to the new D. The new...

(Deliberate crosspost; sorry - the HP user groups seem to be no more. Pointers to better venues accepted.) A friend has a two-year-old 8000Z desktop (Athlon, Nvidia 5200 AGP graphics) which has, according to the markings, an Asus "K8N8X-LA" MB. I presume this is an OEM. It does respond nicely...

Does anyone know how much hard drive space the bios in this puppy can address? The standard disk is 255MB, a bit too small for my needs. I am thinking to put in a 6GB if the bios is up to at least seeing half of it. Thanks in advance.

I have just been through a nightmare with HP getting my computer fixed and replaced. I lost an amount of time and money that... the right hyperbole escapes me.
