I have got an old 286 with an AWARD BIOS.  Recently I had to replace
the harddisk with a WD 85 MEg drive (980 cyl 10 heads ).  My problem
is that the BIOS dos not support this drive type.  Is there some
utility I can use to get around this, or  do I need to get another
bios. .

Thanks Chris Wignall
