Hi all
I finally recieved my new bits from Ebuyer yesturday, - a 60Gb Hard
disc, Creative Platinum sound card, and 256Mb more memory..
I installed the memory last night and I see that I have managed to
exceed the amount my pc can handle! - it only registers 196mb instead
of the 320mb that is installed.
I looked at installing the HDD but I found that the PC cannot handle
discs above 30Gb without a BIOS update, - This in itself is not a
huge problem but this is one area of PCs that I have never touched....
So I have got the update from chaintechs website, and the flash
routine to install it with.
Am I correct in assuming that if I get this wrong I will write the
motherboard off? - or is there a way of reinstalling the old bios
back onto the machine?
excuse the jumpy nature of this, I just want to understand what may
happen if this does not work as expected!
(SWMBO would not be happy at loosing access to a PC!!)
Once this hurdle is done then I can get MP3 ripping!!
Dan
Ps If anyone is interested I could do a review of the Creative
Platinum kit.
