I have two older laptops. One is a HP Xe2 Omnibook and the other is a Twinhead P90. The HP has a 40GB drive and I want to put it into the P90. When I fire up the P90 with it installed it won’t get past the first BIOS info screen. It recognizes the drive, as the new size is shown on the screen, but elsewhere in the BIOS it lists the HDD as having the old 8063 MB size limit. LBA is enabled. The 40 GB drive is loaded with Win2kPro and many programs. I don’t want to have to reinstall them again by formating the drive from scratch. Any ideas on what I need to do to just install this Win2k HDD into the P90 laptop with only having to update some drivers? I was thinking it would be like moving a 9x or Win2k HDD from Desktop to Desktop, but not so. It’s also not a jumper problem. It’s probably just something simple that I’m not thinking of. Any suggestions?
Why bother ????
Because the P90 has a very clear native resolution screen of 800×600 pixels, and many of the programs are golden oldies that need this resolution to work nicely.
