It didnt work..

With 98 bootdisk fdisk says 8033MB´s..
With ME bootdisk computer hangs during "verifying DMA POOL data..."

The screen over "Verifying dmi pool data" says "LBA, MODE 4, 33822MB"

Bios settings set to AUTO

Ofcourse i will test it!

Is it possible to make a backup of my present bios?

My old Pentium 133 recognize it as a 8GB disk.. Everything goes well except that the size is incorrect... :) What can i do? The HDD is a IBM DTLA-307075 (75GB).
