Your computer's bios is Award. TVGA BIOS is the video card bios. I guess the bios you have does have large support, but I'm not sure. Anyway, even if it doesn't, when you start booting with a linux bootdisk define your disk ex. hda=1024,16,64 cylinders, heads, sectors the drive in the example is a 540M disk which is supported even by old bioses, but you should change the values with your other drive's parameters. It has worked for me on an old system with a 840M drive. cheers Kledi /--------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Kledi Andoni | Micro$oft | Linux - The choice of a GNU generation | | linux.org.al | just say | For more info check this site: | | SysAdm,NetAdm | NO! | http://www.linux.org or www.linux.org.al| \--------------------------------------------------------------------/ Computers are like air conditioners --- Stop working when open windows On Wed, 21 Oct 1998, St Xaviers College wrote: > Dear Tony, > > My computer on opening shows at first "Trident TVGA BIOS C4.5(01)" > and then after this screen refreshes writes first "Award Modular BIOS > V4.50G An Enery Award Ally". > > I do not know what is my BIOS. > > I want to upgrade my disc.
