My upgraded HDD is 30GB Compared to the original at 4GB. Could be a bug. What is this partition that Raibow is talking about, and do I need it?

Well folks, I'm up and running again. I contacted MITAC again and asked them to send me ANY BIOS files they had for my board. They sent me 3 versions that they had in archive, but not the one my machine originally had installed. I flashed again with the most recent of the three files -- version 1.08...

Here's the latest... I removed the HDD and the machine boots up. I can entet the SCU, but there doesn't seem to be an option for manually setting up the HDD. The machine will boot and give me an A:> prompt, but now I can't find the backup file. I went to the manufacturer's site, but I can only get t...

I believe that I saved the old BIOS, but not sure. Usually I am quite anal when it comes to updating things. I will check all my floppies to be sure I'm using the right disk (but I think that I didn't have the floppy drive enabled). I went out to the website (www.getac.com) and found the old BIOS r1...

To both of the replies: (with my thanks) Joe: I believe that backing up the BIOS was an option. Being as timid as possible with this operation, I must have done so, however, I truthfully don't remember. The manufacturer will do whatever is necessary to fix the problem, as long as I pay them $75.00 f...

Re: bad flash results
Nope.
The keystroke is never recognized, so I can't get into the BIOS. Just hangs at the Auto-Detecting IDE Devices statement.

Bad flash results, any help is appreciated.
I am hoping that I haven't joined the ranks of the idiots who try this procedure and end up with expensive doorstops. At this point, I have my laptop ready to ship back to the manufacturer, but I just wanted to take one last stab at finding a way to get past the problem without such drastic action. ...
