Windows question...?



1) Older BIOS models won't handle over certain disk sizes
2) the BIOS might support 160 but doesn't recognize the geometry
3) Older Windows also needed a disk-util TSR that loaded under Windows, if
the BIOS was relatively old.

Check the Maxtor website for an exact solution.

Subject: Windows question...?


I recently installed a Maxtor ultra series 160G hard drive on my wife's old
Acer system. Moved up to Win98Se but now am receiving a dialog box at
startup that says I don't have a "PCI Mass Storage Controller". What is it,
how do I get it if I really need it?
Thanks for your help!
Kevin
