I have a 2.5 gig HD that I have installed win95b on,along with office 95. I am trying to put this in a 486dx2 66. The computer does not recognize the drive.I have tried all jumper settings on drive. I can not get into bios with this hd . When I go back to the hd with win3.1 everything works. I don't know much about 3.1 or dos Thanks

Are you sure that old of a computer can recognize the hard drive? Have you tried to slave off of the main drive and then try and access the BIOS.

you may have to use an ontrack overlay program to get the drive to work with a pc that old.
