when the summary of my bios comes on screen my system hangs. the cursor stops at "primary master: LBA, UDMA33, (cursor) "

looks like the 64 GB Bug

It's definetely the latest known Bios for the M6VBE with VIA693 chipset from Fujitsu-Siemens and has to be patched .
Just for Info : Do you have the M6VBE with VIA693 Chipset or the VIA692 Chipset Board ? > I heard the 693 Bios won't work on 692 based M6VBE .

so i could buy a 60GB HD and then everything should be ok?
I don't find a patch for the 64GB Bug.

The moderators of this Forum are able to patch the Bios for you .
As I'm no moderator I can't patch it for you .
