http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...TypeId=12 454

It's possible to put a larger disk on this hp vei8 ?

I have flashed the bios to the latest version, but my 80 and 120 go
dosen't boot.

Thx for your help

Ok. I just try the EZ bios. I have test the disk manager on an ibm
computer and no problem.

Thx for your help
