Help with Toshiba laptop 2.4 BIOS

[Dan Alexov]

My laptop is a Toshiba T1910 486-33 with 20M ram and 200M drive running
on BIOS 2.4 dated 07/12/94. About 6 months ago I bought a 800M Toshiba
laptop hardrrive. I though it would work
perfectly since it was the same size/shape and made from Toshiba too. I
took apart my laptop and replaced the harddrives. Unfortunately, when I
booted the laptop it just would freeze after a few seconds. So I put the
old harddrive back in and everything was back to normal. I went to my
local PC shop and they told me the BIOS on my laptop can not handle the
bigger hardrive, though for about $100 they could make it work in my
laptop. I believe they said they could replace my BIOS.

Although I know very much about computer software, I really don't know
much about BIOS. Is this something I can do from home.


Thanks
