Thanks for your help, but the MI415 fix states that it doesn't support a harddisk greater than 36GB 
I have the new Maxtor 160GB harddisk...

Rainbow and other people are currently working on an universal fix for that problem:
http://www.wimsbios.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=122
Problem here is your harddisk IS bigger than 128GB. If no workaround is found your only option is an add-in controller card from http://www.promise.com
And then I went to read the actual page.

2. Update new CPU microcode.
3. Fix BIOS can not detect Hard disk size great than 36GB
|
So they have solved that problem in this release.

Latest official Bios supports drives greater than 36GB but thisusually ends at 64 or 128GB .
Seems they have a beta here :
ftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/bios/motherboards/slot1/vb-601
But from the date no 160GB support .
