As the final step, I played it safe by using the Ontrack utility =
downloaded
from Samsung site to repartition and reformat the 40GB hard disk and
installed the OS. The utility uses what is called 'Dynamic Drive =
Overlay' to
translate the drive geometry so that the full capacity of the disk can =
be
utilized even if the BIOS cannot recognize it.

All is well that ends well!
