Thanks for the replies.

Update based on what I've read here and elsewhere...

I've been told that my BIOS will only let my MObo take harddrives up to about 8GB and needs updating. I'm assuming this is only if the Controller doesn't have it's own BIOS (Like you and others have mentioned is often the case). I'm not sure if it does or not...

So I need to know if the BIOS update is only necessary if the Controller doesn't have it onboard. And if I need to update the BIOS, well...... how?

Also. Having had a look at the current boot sequence. It's set as 1) Floppy. 2) CDROM and 3) is IDE0. I'm not sure what to set it to.

I've been told SCSI should work?

Thanks again.
