Hi Bojan,

I had a look at the laptop's history. My word... I never realised it was 30 years old!

I did some searching around as well and can only agree with what you found with regards to the inflexible BIOS settings and very limited options available to you.

I'll have a look at those drives when I get home this evening. I remember last using it/them in about 2008. So they are probably a lot larger than 80MBytes.

I also have a USB -> IDE adapter you can borrow to test the old drive in a newer machine to see if you can recover it.

Cheers,
V
