Hi,

I have an ASKA 5886 mobo (Via Apollo Pro plus 692/596) slot1.
And it can't recognize my 200gig Maxtor.

Award Bios 4.51PG
Award: 07/13/2000-693-596b-8671-2a616v3pc-00
Chipset: 693-596b-8671

Is there a bios update available?
I can't find one.

200GB is not supported by 4.51PG Bios - max is 128/137GB
-> Use two 120GB or get a PCI-IDE Controller supporting 48BitLBA for HDD ober 128/137GB
