| 366917 | 2005-06-25 01:35:00 | hi. i have a just installed a new hard drive (80 GB) in my old AMD K6II 300 MHz system and it won't recognise the harddrive so i can not install Windows 98 SE. any suggestions to fix this? | paulb (1103) | ||
| 366918 | 2005-06-25 01:40:00 | Did u go into the BIOS and put Primary Master/slave on AUTO?? Depending on which IDE connection, you've put it on . And jumper the hdd to Master or slave on the back of it?? And connect power to it . |

| 366920 | 2005-06-25 03:20:00 | Your motherboard is probably too old to use an 80 gig hard drive without a bios update. Some systems show hard drives that are too big as being the maximum size your system can handle, and others just don't detect it. | Greven (91) | ||
