Have you hit the 500 MB drive limit on older systems like a 386? This is due to a limitation in the BIOS. One workaround is to use a BIOS overlay provided by applications like EZ-Drive. Another solution is to use a BIOS extension called XT-IDE Universal BIOS. In today's video, I will try to use XTIDE for the first time... Watch me make every mistake possible!
