I have an old Zeos Meridian 800 series laptop: 486DX4-100 processor, 20mb RAM, 540mb hard drive
The problem is, the system only recognizes 12mb of the hard drive, though when I check the BIOS, it reads the correct drive size. What's going on? And what can I do to fix it? I think my friend, whom I lent the laptop to, might have compressed the hard drive or something along those lines, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help? Thx
