HAVE YOU DETECTED THE HARD DRIVE IN BIOS SET UP,,THIS MUST BE DONE B4 YOU CAN DO ANYTHING,,
IF I KNEW WHAT KIND OF COMPUTER YOU HAD I
COULD TELL YOU HOW TO DO IT,,TRY WATCHING THE SCREEN ON BOOT UP,,IT MAY SAY HIT F1 OR F10 TO GO INTO SET UP,,
IF IT'S A COMPAQUE OR OLDER PACKARD BELL YOU MAY NEED SET UP FLOPPY,,ONCE IN SET UP LOOK FOR OPTION TO DETECT HARD DRIVE,AND ENABLE LBA IF IT'S THERE,MANY OF THE 486-66'S
WOULD NOT TAKE LARGER THAN A 2 GIG,,BUT YOU ARE USING EZBIOS FLOPPY,,THIS SHOULD OVER COME THAT LIMITATION,,YOU WILL STILL LIKELY NEED WIN 95 B OR LATER TO SUPPORT IT
