120GB: PcCHIPS M726

[nasheme]

Hi

I have a 120Gb seagate IDE drive that I am trying to get a PC CHIPS slot1 motherboard to see. I have flashed it with the latest bios I could find but it hasn't helped. Here are the detail I have:

Chipset: BXcel PC100 HT1543
AMI bios updated to 22/07/99
61-0330-001437-00111111-071595-ALI1621_M726_V3.4-5123-H

I hope this is sufficient info.

Thanks in advance,
Nash.
