I would advice you to install it on some other machine and transfer the HDD. 

Today I tried plugging my 10 GB HDD to my 486 since power suplly of my AMD 
machine is not working. 

BIOS detected the HDD as 8GB but refused to boot. Couldn't pass beyond BIOS 
test which said 'Wait...' forever after detecting the HDD..

Any solutions...
