I'm WinDumb and I admit it!

It might very well be that your motherboard is too ancient to recognise bigger HD's. Sometimes (usually?) flashing a newer BIOS ('Kickstart') into it can help. Do you happen to know what motherboard you have? We might be able to help you find a newer version.

It's a bit like the 4 gig limit on Miggies, but not quite :-).

Oh and if that wouldn't help, I'd be happy to swap my 15 gig for your 80gig :-D.

It's a possibility that your motherboard is so ancient that it's chips are not flashable. It might help, however, if you could provide the make and modelnumber :-).

Whatever did you do with that Packard from Hell? Trashed it?

Have a look on the Abit website. The link takes you to the support page of your mobo (though it say BX6 V2.0 :-?) have a read in the BIOS update section. I think that should shed some light on the business. If you still have probs after that...shoot :-)

(Fun eh, PC's ;-)).

Here's the helppage on ABit's page detailing a fairly idiotproof guide to updating once's flashrom.

I noticed that should you ever want to upgrade the CPU on that board it's a very real possibility. It accepts upto 0,5GHz P3 CPUs.

Tried zipping the exe? (probably wont compress to 720kByte though :-)). You could always use some join and split util. As a matter of fact zip supports hacking an archive into bits I think.

:lol: Sorry jaxanim, PC's sure are fun eh ;-).

As for the modem, *shrug*.
