will pentium 1 reconize 20 gb hard drive and 128 ram

I guess that will depend on which mainboard you have and how new is the bios update it is running...

nod @ MRCOmPUTER.

if you still have you motherboard manual, you can re-search on your inquiry there. and sometimes, you need to update the bios in order for the mobo to support large HDD capacities.

if its a seagate HDD you can use this http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/...s/discwiz.html

Seagate simplifies the installation of disc drives with this program. This software also overcomes many system BIOS and operating system limitations that can complicate the installation of higher-capacity ATA (IDE) interface drives.

thank you probably need the bios update

[MRCOMPUTER]

The bios update is the first thing to work on.
Some boards will stop at the post screen due to bios limitations.
This prevents the use of Disk Wizard.
I would identify the mainboard manufacturer by markings on the board and/or by the bios string on the post screen and then look for a bios update...

guess i'll try and find a socket7 mobo that will accept a
400 cpu its better than my 233 in this mobo anyway.
maybe it will reconize the hard drive and ram

thanks
