I don't.
Anyway, I'm contemplating on just buying a new hard drive to avoid
this problem.
I have business data on the drive....too off the edge for a risk.
Will upgrading to 128MB be necessary if I DO run these large
drives, 10GB probably?
This system has a 500MHz Celeron so......
Any good MOBO recommendations on the S370 class?
One with good chip perf despite the lower bus.
