Recently, I bought a Samsung 40GB hard disk to be used in a relatively =
old
machine with Pentium I 200MHz CPU. Anticipating some problem with this
combination, I downloaded the software from Samsung site that enables =
you to
use HDDs greater than 2GB.=20

But I find that the BIOS of the PC does not even recognise the hard =
disk.
Now, what are my options?=20

 - Return the hard disk and look for a 20GB or smaller hard disk?
 - Try to upgrade the BIOS if possible (with all the attendant risk =
factors)?
 - Change the motherboard of the machine and incur the additional =
expense?

Since the PC belongs to a friend of mine, I would like to solve the =
problem
without any additional expenditure.=20

Would appreciate any tips / suggestions.

Regards,
Bala
