Check
the bios to see if it can use a different method of seeing the HD, such as LBA
or Large or Normal, and try all the options. Another possibility is to
upgrade the bios. It may be a flash bios that can be upgraded by running a
program, or maybe needs a replacement bios chip.

Subject: [newbie] Installation with older BiosI have an older Pentium 90 that will not fully see a 2.1 GB HD. I have formatted the HD cleanly and the BIOS will only see the first 504 MB. I have read in the archives that it is not recommended to install Linux using a HD overlay. Is it possible to install 7.2 and then reformat the remaining portions of the HD to get the full benefit of the 2.1 GB?I would really appreciate any assistance. I don't want to give this up and I don't want to have to buy a new motherboard and components just to install Linux.Don
