If you try bigger one, most likely it wont see it and if it does, it wont see it that big. I tried RAM (more that what that pc supported) but it didn't see all of it. If things doesn't go well, you may simply end up with a crashed Hard Drive though :( ---"James (Jim) Hatridge" <hatridge@straubing.baynet.de> wrote:
Hi All!;
I've got an old 486/33, the bios is dated 6/6/91. I have two HDs on
it. I
want to replace the Linux only disk (hdb) with a larger one (now it's 120meg). I was told that I could only use up to a 520meg HD. Is this right? What would happen if I tried a bigger one.
TIA!
