Default 3.2G HDD for Old 386 Compaq PC

Hi,
One of my computers is an old Compaq 386 (Dos 6.2
OS) with 40M HDD. I would replace the 40M HDD with
a 3.2G I recently bought. I have a "setup" floppy for this
computer. Due to the BIOS limitations, is there a way I can
use this HDD, even if I have to partition it into smaller
logical drives?

Thanks in advance, Brad

Before you type your password, credit card number, etc.,
be sure there is no active key logger (spyware) in your PC.

Go to the HD maker's web site and download their drive overlay software.
