| 69172 | 2002-08-07 10:18:00 | I have just replaced the hard drive in my old P233mmx with a 40G samsung drive. My bios can't detect this, and I have been told this could be that the bios isn't set up to recognise disks of this size. | alimac (1388) | ||

You may be able to go to the hard drive's manufacturers site and download a program that might make it possible to run the drive in your PC, but I'd be surprised if it'd take anything more than 32gb (might recognise your HDD as a 32gb even).

| 69174 | 2002-08-07 12:25:00 | Hi Alimac, I had a similar problem with my Seagate 40Gb hard drive. I went to the Samsung site and found this: Hard Disk Drive Support (www.samsungelectronics.com) Download and install the Disk Manager program and you should be able to access all the drive OK. It works fine with my Seagate drive. |
