Most likely the BIOS in your 486 will not understand the size of the drive, you can go to the hard drives manufacturer website and download their version of EZ-Drive (or whatever they call their disk overlay program). But in using this you will probable lose what information you currently have on the drive<br />

I have a 3 GB hard drive that when I do a fdisk on later model PC I can see and access the whole hard drive. &nbsp;When I take the hard drive out and put it in an older model PC (486 66mhz), I can only access 500 MBs of disk space. &nbsp;Is there anything I can do or software I can run so I can see the whole hard drive in the older PC. &nbsp;The hard drive has Windows 98 and other software on it, but I cannot access it in the older PC.
