I have a Viglen P3/450 I recently had to replace the hard disk on - its the kids PC, not mine! The smallest disk I could find was an 80GB PATA. unfortunately, the BIOS (award IIRC - its at home, I'm not !) didnt recognise it, and I had to jumper the HDD down - via the '32GB clip' jumper setting. now I have 48GB thats doing nowt !
is there something I can do in the interim before I get round to upgrading to a more modern mobo ?
If I attempt to install Debian 4.0 Etch Linux (off a DVD I have), will it see what the BIOS doesnt ?
Can I reflash to a more modern BIOS or summat ?
Ta !
