    How to change bios for new hard drive?

    I just installed a new 12 gig hdd in a Toshiba 2805 satellite notebook. The original hdd was a 6 gig. Now my recovery cd will not load because the computer is apparently telling it that it needs a 6 gig hdd. I called toshiba and they told me to change the hdd bios settings. I have attempted but...

    I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop model 2805-S201. My old hard drive (6.1 gig) completely stopped responding a few weeks ago. I replaced it with a new Toshiba 12 gig hdd.
