I managed to reinstall v6.60 and then tried v6.50. The problem persisted under both, i.e. the BIOS does not recognize a hard drive at all. >3) What HD IDE settings do you have in the BIOS? Extended/LBA/etc. or non? I don't know. Per above, under Hard Disk the BIOS says "No Drive" >4) What boot order do you have in the BIOS, if present? Floppy, then HD? >or HD >first? Floppy then HD. >5) Have you tried the original HD? This is the original HD. The problem started when I tried to upgrade. I couldn't get the new disk (a Toshiba MK4313MAT) formatted properly and in the process somehow screwed things up so that neither disk will work. It is also possible that I may not have reinstalled the BIOS properly. I put BIOFCEBT.COM, CHGBIOSA.EXE and BIO.SYS on a 720k floppy and inserted it after pressing F12 after booting. It seemed to work.
