I need a drive overlay software because my bios don't support the new 6GB HDD ( HITACHI_DK23AA-60 )
can you send me one, please? or where can I find it?

Drive overlay software is usually a free download from the HDD manufacturer's website. No, we can't send it to you, it's a licensed product.

Only $60 :lol:
Used board with Pentium CPU and memory is cheaper.

It's a notebook.

The drive is 2.5" but I remember that I answered webmax666's question about BIOS upgrade for old 486 board.
If it's notebook then it might be worth it - but I would better search for a HDD from another manufacturer and download the overlay free.

I've found a possibility to use the 6GB-HDD!
the primary partition is as big as the BIOS ist supports(500MB) but the other partitions I can make as big as I would like! (2GB) and windows can use these big partitions.
so I don't need any special software or an bios update... (only fdisk)
:wink:
