Just give us the mobo model number, as the size of the hard drive will depend on wether the mobo will recognise it's size correctly.
If we want the spec we will ask.
Posted by: redwench
well, you can use any drive on the market, with the correct controller. without purchasing a controller, a standard ide drive of under 140g would be my guess for whats supported.
Posted by: kestrel1
From what I can see this is an old mobo & a drive of 140gb probably won't work.
I have a mobo with the 440bx chip set & I needed to upgrade the BIOS before I could install a 40gb HD.
Posted by: redwench
oh, hell have to have an upgraded bios. but it should go higher than that.
Posted by: kestrel1
Yes, is probably will, but check on the upgrade info. It should tell you what has been sorted.
