Presario 5304 and Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8
The DiamondMax Plus 8 was free.
Would anyone care to share with me the installation procedure for an old Presario 5304? Thanks - Mike |

Hate to tell you this, but the 5304 likely has an 8GB hard drive size limit
in BIOS. It might not, but since it came with a 4.3GB drive, it might. If it does, you will need to either use drive overlay software (available from Maxtor) or install a PCI IDE controller card with its own BIOS. If you try the former, and use the existing IDE cable, jumper the drive CS for cable select. I think the only bay open on the 5304 is a 5.25" bay, so you will need to either use a 3.5" to 5.25" drive adapter or just replace the existing HD and use that 3.5" bay.
