Hello everybody.

Yesterday I tried to get a new SAMSUNG SV1204H HDD detected by the old AMD K6-300 machine that I'm using as a backup server. (Board Type: NMC 5VMMX, BIOS version: Award, 4.51) In the HDD Auto detection, the drive is detected as a 32 GB HDD, and I assume that's due to the 32 GB Limit Bug that is mentioned on your website.

Can anyone of you help me with this issue and run a patch against the latest BIOS file (as of 2000)? The BIOS is available via this link: http://enmic.de/_downloads/bios/5VMMX_20000411.zip

Thank you very much in advance.

Danny

Looking at it now...will email when/if patched...
[edit]That version appears to have the 32GB bug fixed but not the 64 GB - I will email the patched version.

Thanks for the feedback!
