EZ-Drive is a software tool loaded into a hidden partition on your HD. It
adds the needed BIOS code to allow your system to access your HD. When your
system boots, the BIOS is loaded into memory, and it provides primitive code
for the system to use to connect to the hardware. If your BIOS does not
support the size of HD you have installed, and you cannot get an update
flasher for your BIOS (not an uncommon thing, at least with older machines),
then EZ-Drive is the next best alternative. I use it with a dual-booting
installation of Windoze 95 and Linux-Mandrake 6.0, and have no problems.
Oh, and BTW, the only "stupid" question would be the one you did not ask.
