[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Bios problem?

Hi Folks,

I hope someone can set me straight on what is wrong with my computer.

I recently installed a 3.5" HD drive in my 286-10 AT clone. I now have a 1.2 MB  
drive and a 1.44 MB drive installed in the computer. The problem is that the
computer will not recognize the 1.44 MB drive as being a 1.44 MB drive.
Instead, the computer thinks I have two 1.2 MB drives. I have made the
necessary changes to the setup program, but it still thinks it's a 1.2MB drive.
I ran this problem by a friend of mine and he said it might be a bios problem.
The date on my bios is January 1, 1987.

My question is: Is this an actual bios problem and if it is, can it be
corrected by a bios fix or will I need to purchase a new bios?

Thanks in advance.
