Installing 20 GB HD in old Compaq Deskpro

[Larry Peay]

I'm trying to shoehorn a 20Gb Hard Drive in an old Compaq Deskpro 4000. It has the old 1024 cylinder limitations and I have not dealt with this in a long time. Anyone have recent experience with a good way to make this work?

Thanks, Larry

Hi,

You can try disk manager software.

I have used it so many time. Previously it used to come with Disk drive itself.
