BIOS Updates forum

I'll definately let you all know as soon as I upgrade the disk... for now there are certain others issues i've got to know that I have to fnd out about before I open up my CPU... I was wondering if you might know the answers as well... 1. How do I find out my systems ATA speed... its a Pentium ii 35...

This patch is working fine on my present configuration... i'll connect my new drive and see if its supported now.... but atleast this patch doesnt have any bugs... its as good as my original BIOS was.... except that now i hope it will accept my new HDD as well... :) this patch has a new BIOS string ...

Yes i found the link there... so now do u want me to flash my BIOS with this other file again... whats new about this one??
Actually even i think i m ready to go through the hassle..... but would feel far better if i could get it working perfectly...

earlier in the table it use to show the sizes of the three options.... but now it shows 0 for all of them

No this patched BIOS isnt functioning properly... it hangs as soon as I access
1. The Standard CMOS Setup
2. IDE HDD Auto Detection -> Primary Slave (After detecting Primary Master successfully)

I have to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot the system... thats the only thing I can do
