| - | | {{http://omolini.steptail.com/files/hardware/toshiba_t-series/ANYDRIVE.ZIP|ANYDRIVE.ZIP}} | 13 KB | This program overrides your BIOS HDD parameters so you can utilize up to 504 MB of a hard disk. It installs within the hard-drive's master boot record (MBR). \\ Due to its very small footprint, this is recommended for Toshiba portables. To install, make a bootable floppy with AnyDrive, FDISK and FORMAT on it. Boot the floppy, install AnyDrive on your HDD, then boot from the HDD to activate Anydrive, but choose floppy boot once it prompts. Then partition with FDISK and run FORMAT to format new partitions. If you have a hard-drive that is larger than 512 MB, you can install AnyDrive by running the command **"ANYDRIVE 0 1023 16 63"**. This will utilize the first 512 megabytes on the disk. Please note that viruses may overwrite Anydrive in the MBR, so keep your favorite virus scanner and Anydrive handy on a bootable floppy. The reason you can only utilize 512 MB is because of the limitations in the BIOS CHS addressing scheme (1023 cyls, 16 heads, 63 sectors). For more information, see the included text file. | | + | | {{http://omolini.steptail.com/files/hardware/toshiba_t-series/ANYDRIVE.ZIP|ANYDRIVE.ZIP}} | 13 KB | **AnyDrive**.
