Just to address this part, check out your pc manufacturer's web site. I had
a similar problem recently (except my drives are 428MB and 4.3GB). My
manufacturer (Packard Bell) has a tech support page which gives you info on
your pc when you give them the serial number, plus message boards where you
can get help from other users and techs. Not even to mention the possible
update drivers and BIOS updates that you may be able to find.
