No the bios wont autodetect it....laptops some 4 or 5 years old.
Have tried taking apart but the harddrives hidden well inside the workings - dont think they ever expected the hardrive to be upgraded !!

Help !

Laptop bios battery has gone and run out and now the bios has lost the HardDrive settings (no. of cylinders etc etc)...so the machine won't boot !!

*Think* the Harddrive is 2.1Gb anybody any ideas of the settings to use.....or point me to a website maybe where such info may exist ??

Thanks ...
