Hi,

replacing an old HD (13 GB) with a new one (120 GB) results in a problem:
Booting - Stop while the Bios is trying to recognise the HDs.

Messages on the screen are:

Award Modular Bios v4.51PG, An Energy Star Ally
(c) 1984-99 Award Software

6240 VER:1.1 06 WB

i440BX-W977TF-6240-SH

On the motherboard I'm able to find: ATC6240

Is it possible to find a Bios Update (I assume this is necessary) with this information? Where?

Sincerely,
Thadeus

A-Trend ATC-6240 Rev 1.x

-> Rev 1.x Bios version 08, two versions newer than yours and should support HDD up to 128GB (via forum search )

Use Uniflash to update, Award flasher might complain because Bios-ID changes
