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.
