Re: Detecting IBM 13.5GB IDE HDD---anyone?
are you running the latest BIOS ? 7.9GB is quite common on older boards as
a limitation (32GB is another barrier) make sure you got the latest bios
and the drive should be in LBA mode i believe.
I just installed corel 1.0 on an IBM 18GB ide and it went fine (AOpen
AP5T-3 i430TX mainboard)
