Use mine at http://160.87.24.214/ezdrv909.zip Tested and works fine for me. Installs a small program into sector 0 of the master boot record on your HD. When the PC boots, it loads this in, overlays the old BIOS Int13 calls that don't work, and lets you correctly see the full HD size >8.4GB. You can deinstall and install it over and over again on >8.4GB HDs with partitions below the 8.4GB boundary working just fine if they were created already before installation. I've tried this and it works fine for me booting into Win98SE with or without it as a primary 4GB partition created on the HD before installing it. All partitions created after it is installed above the 8.4GB boundary will be invisible when the software is removed from the HD. They'll show up again if you put it back in. Does not affect system BIOS at all. Safe and works fine for me. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
