10 GB shouldn't be a problem, If you were going with 20 or more I would worry, But even if that were the case, just go to the PC manufacturers web site and get the latest BIOS, flash it and you should have no worries.

I need some more info about your Mainboard. What brand is it?

Hi the details for your Mobo can I think be found at this site,

Go to http://www.motherboards.org/moboidtools.html
and download the CT BIOS version 1.3, then run the file , it should give you a report on your system , right down the bottom it should give you a model number and make sometimes even a web address for the MB manufacturer, if so go to that address first, if no success there go to http://www.motherboards.org/manufacturer.html
and clic on the appropriate letter and search for your manufacturer and follow the links to get the sopecs , *( usually you are able to get the M/B manual.)

Hope that Helps you

10GB HD won't be a problem for your Intel 430HX chipset and MOBO as long as you are running Windows 98 or better. Win95 will only see up to 2GB, so you would need to partition the drive otherwise.

Install new HD and enter BIOS, usually DELETE keyon bootup.

Note: Mode Setting For Hard Disk Larger than 528MB
The Mode settings are for IDE hard disks only. There are three entries you can select from in the
mode field, ?Normal?, ?Large? and ?LBA?.
Set Mode to the Normal settings for IDE hard disk drives smaller than 528MB. Use the LBA
setting for drives over 528MB that use Logical Block Addressing mode to allow larger IDE hard
disks.
There is the option of Type ?AUTO? and Mode ?AUTO? to auto detect the hard
disk type and the hard disk mode (Normal, LBA and Large).
Format the new drive and your good for go.
Good Luck
