| 308004 | 2004-12-27 08:03:00 | Hey, I have an old P2 400 Box, made by Packard Bell that I want to convert to an FTP server, running linux. I have an 80gb hard drive that I tried adding into it, which wasn't detected, but thats no surprise, seeing as the bios chip says 1996. Now I can't for the life of me find a string to google for for this bios, as I thought there might be the possibility of a bios update, that I could at least put a 20gb or so in (it seems to have the 8gb barrier). Regards, Ashley Quicksilver Internet |
