I have a 3.1gb Toshiba in my 755cd w/o an overlay, but that's a little newer
than yours. I use IBM's Disk Manager in my 300 w/ 800mb.

O.K., so I tried to get a 3GB hd in a 755C and I haven't
succeeded yet. Before I waste another gob of hours, has any
one gotten a drive bigger than 2+GB in a 360 thru 755
series?

I tried several disk managers but no luck. I keep getting a
174 (hard drive) error. If I could get to the drive table I
might be able to set a basic drive (1024/64/63) but then how
would BIOS keep it? Anyone know of a BIOS setup program
that would work?

TIA

Bill
