HELP!!!  I'm trying to install a Seagate ST-4096 80Mb hard disk
into an older HP-Vectra AT compatible.  The HP Rep told me I would
need a BIOS upgrade which I got.  The problem is that the drive
type for the 4096 (35) is not in my new BIOS drive table.  I tried
using the closest type that is in the table, with some success.  I
managed to partition and format a chunck of the hard disk, but when I
try to boot off the hard disk, I get a "Hard disk error".  Am I
trying the impossible?  Any help is appericiated.
