Hello everyone,
I hope you can help me.
I wanted to get my old Sony PCG-705 150mhz Pentium I Laptop to recognize the
newer drives originally it came with the 2.1gb drive however I had to replace it
with a newer ATA drive but its bigger.
I also am trying to put the right setting in the bios to recognize 60gb drive and
fool the bios to thinking it's a 2.1gb drive. I been having issues having
the laptop to recognize the hard drive and getting the bios to recognize as
well. There may be some way of using a special cd with diagnostics to help
me get this to work.
Here are all the specs below of my laptop and any help would be appreciate it.
i wanted to display this laptop for show and use as well.
Thanks!
Paul
