The IBM 380XD laptop came with a 4GB HD. I wish to install a 25.5 GB HD. Unfortunately, with the latest BIOS installed, it will only accept a max of 8 GB HUD. Is there any software patch to get around the 8GB limit?

This question was answered on December 2, 2003. Much of the information contained herein may have changed since posting.

It seems that your laptop is not fully ready to run a 25.5 GB HD so you better to exchange it for a HD with the max for your laptop
