Hey there, I have a socket 7 motherboard with Award BIOS (Pretty sure it's this one: http://arvutimuuseum.ee/th99/m/P-R/33984.htm ). For some reason I can only get it to properly detect a 528MB drive (have one as the primary) - when I enter the CHS values from a bigger (secondary) drive, it just shows up as some random value around 1GB (the drive in question is 3.6GB.) I have LBA as an option for the drive type, but when I select LBA, it doesn't let me change the values for CHS - it just puts in its own (random and incorrect) ones. In addition, if I just let it auto-detect the bigger drive, it does so, but upon entering Windows 95, the OS hangs on launching Windows Explorer. Removing the second drive fixes the hang. What can I do to fix/troubleshoot this? Thanks!
