You need to check if your motherboard can support a 20 GB HDD. If I
remember correctly, motherboards of that vintage didn't support HDDs
greater than 2 GB, while some of them could support 8 upto GB. Which
chipset is the motherboard based on ? model no ? make ? (Vintron just
imports them and markets them under its own brand). Check if the BIOS
can be updated.
