Presario 5005CL: How To Find Out How Big A Hard Drive Bios Supports?
Got an 80-gigger in there.
Would like to put in a 120, 200, 250, or 300 - depending on what's on sale. Anybody know how to tell if the BIOS will support the larger sizes? -- PeteCresswell |

Presario 5005CL: How To Find Out How Big A Hard Drive Bios Supports?
I doubt that model supports 48-bit LBA, which is required for drives over
127MB. A 120 MB drive almost certainly will work. HH "(PeteCresswell)" wrote in message ... Got an 80-gigger in there. Would like to put in a 120, 200, 250, or 300 - depending on what's on sale. Anybody know how to tell if the BIOS will support the larger sizes? -- PeteCresswell |
