Windows 95 OLD? Not really :-)
I´m still using Windows 95, although version OSR 2.5 or C with FAT 32
and it runs fine.
But why do you say that Windows is OLD when you assume that the error
comes from the BIOS??
I had a similar problem, that Harddisks above 4 GB would not be
recognized by my BIOS - I downloaded a Flashupdated from the webpage of
the mainboard manufacturer and then it ran fine.
