Does anyone own one of these boards and have you installed windows 95 on it using an 120gb ssd?
Does anyone own one of these boards and have you installed windows 95 on it using an 120gb ssd?
Does anyone know if the is a program like HWiFO 32 that works with windows 95. I am trying to get all the information I can on this 430 HX motherboard. I have been trying for a few days to clone the windows 95 hdd to an sdd, but it cannot see it. Thanks.
Does it show in the bios, and fdisk?
If yes, find an old copy of Norton ghost.
Do not change the sizes of partitions when ghosting.
Frankly I'm assuming that it doesn't. The best bet to get it too work somewhat without biosmods is to set a "custom hdd" in the bios.
You'll probably get it working with something like 15 heads 254cyl and 65534 sectors - which is well below the actual size but should at least be reliably usable. I'm going off memory here so don't bet on it being right. I'm simply saying one less than the Max value for each.
Then look in fdisk and try ghost

Yes sir, it does show in the bios, and fdisk. In the bios it shows up as 8455 MB. The only time I can make it to fdisk is when first connecting the SSD's. I did not use the format command though. After it restarts the bootdisk, it just hangs and doesn't go into setup.
I think there is a copy of Norton ghost on my Hirens version 7 I can try and use. I think I read to start over and remove the MBR from the ssd, if one was created after using fdisk.
I did try and set a custome hdd but got nowhere, I can try again and see if I can put in your numbers.
Tuesday I should get two different types of IDE to SATA converters from ebay, maybe that will help the bios see the ssd.
Thank you for the ideas.
Question about Normal and LBA bios setting
That has more info on hdd limits.
But, since it's 8gb it should work.
Try making a 2gb primary partition in fdisk.
Then try formatting it.
If windows then sees it, it should be ok.
Just know that you shouldn't mess with it or dream about using the full 120gb.

Some pictures of failure.
It looks like it's working.
Weird both partitions are named the same though.
Couldn't hurt to turn on 32bit xfer.
What is the issue? No boot?
