I believe that the largest HD that the 760XL BIOS can recognize is 4 GB,
and you might have trouble with a larger one.

Try eBay for deals on 3 and 4 GB drives. You might be able to get one
for as little as $20.

BTW, a 2 GB drive is plenty big enough for a minimal Linux install,
if you leave off KDE, Gnome, and OO. Icewm works just fine on older
low-resource TPs.

Best of luck.
