I've got a HP BRIO BAX D76xx (PII mmx - 350 Mhz)

I need to install a 46 GB HDD from IBM, but my Bios only recognises HDD up to 32 GB.

I went to HP web site and there's no update to this Bios to support this feature.

My BIOS String is: 10/19/1999-i440BX-SMC602-6A69KM3JC-00

Can anyone help me?

It work like a charm.

I only had a little problem, the flash program that i was using could't write on my Bios, but i went to the HP.com site and downloaded the latest update to the bios they had and substitut their file for yours.

Now I have a 46 GB disk working perfectly.

I've got a HP BRIO BAX D76xx (P-III Processor With 64 MB RAM).

After installing Windows 98 (se), I'm unable to load its Display Driver & Sound Driver.

Please help me in this regard.

Edit - Fixed the BBCode, and removed the OP's duplicate posting. KW

After a Win98SE fersh install you have to upgrade DirectX or many of the later drivers will not work. Should be available via Windows update.

Assuming you still have the Matrox G200 then use this driver:
ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive/win_9x/2002/w9x_683.exe

BTW - Win98Se with only 64MB of RAM is awful, try to get more Ram and system performance will skyrocket.
