Compaq5190 HD upgrade by
r
I'm looking at this Compaq 5190 Presario I've inherited. I checked out its
primitive BIOS by doing an f10 and I'm wondering: Does anyone know; if I
put a larger (13G) drive in it, will it autodetect and run? If not, is there
any kind of BIOS upgrade for the thing?
Thanks,
Mike
