I have a 40 gig hard drive in an old 1995 gateway PC. I
had to use a drive overlay from Western Digital so the PC
would see the drive. I install Xp over Windows ME. During
the install the first reboot occurs and I get an error and
it say's XP install can't continue. Microsoft say's it's a
BIOS error and that XP doesn't like drive overlays. Funny
that ME runs fine. So I bought a card that adds to the
BIOS during boot up so the PC can see the drive but I get
the same error. Now I'm trying to put an ATA 100 IDE
controller card in but I get a PCI memory error. It say's
to increase the PCI memory in BIOS but I don't find a way
to do that in my BIOS. I think my PCI bus is to old for
the controller. Looks like I have to use my older 8 gig
hard drive that runs XP fine, but the drive speed cripples
the PC. Any one run into this befor?
