I've run out of space on my 250MB hard drive and would like to put in a larger drive. Unfortunately when it comes to storage, my 486 is a finicky beast. The BIOS is limited to 528MB, and it doesn't like CF cards. I was going to buy a 528MB HDD off of eBay but for whatever reason, they're very expensive! However I do have a 2.1GB Seagate Medallion.
So I was wondering, if I create a single 528MB partition on the drive and then input drive parameters for a 528MB HD in the BIOS, will the system be able to use it as a 528MB without corrupting any data? By the way, I don't mind losing the remaining 1.6GB, as 528MB is all I need on this system.
