Old 486?

Neil_Sedaka · 2001-04-07 17:19:00

I'm trying to put a 4.3G Seagate H/D into an old MiTAC 486 but the bios settings don't seem to be able to handle a drive this big, any suggestions? Can't find a bios update btw. OOOHH,I hear laughter in the rain.

go to www.seagate.com , get their drive manager software. Read all the documentation, and it will work.
