I've got motherboard like in topic (Intel BX chipset). Unfortunatly doesnt recognize my 40GB Barracuda. On the net I was everywhere but the newest version of bios I've found here: ftp://ftp.cq.hktk.com/drive/drive_bios/W654MS10.EXE. Could anybody help me patch this bios.
Best wishes

May be - you can try this programm - http://rom.by/Award/patcher/bp-4beta_G.rar
It`s can (only main):
1. Solve all "bigHDD-problem" (32Gb/65Gb) up to 137Gb.
2. Add CPU Support: Pentium-III (Katmai/Coppermine/Tualain), Celeron (Coppermine/Tualatin) with correct frequency display (more than 1000MHz)
ps sorry for my bad english

I will take a look, but I do not have any mobos with Intel >P90.
I'll also put a link to it in the moderators forum.

I've tested patched bios. It works.
Hardware Barracuda 40GB. Unfortunatly my disk is recognised as UDMA 5 (DMA doesnt works in win98 ). I've seen solusion for this problem here: http://www.ryston.cz/petr/bios/ga586hx_mod.html but only for programmers and for Gigabyte mobo. I've tried also advice from apple_rom. It works also, but I dont know why bp-4beta_G.rar program changed bios' bootblock. I've used uniflash to program new bios.

If your HDD is recognizes as UDMA5 get a utility from your HDD manufacturer to speed your HDD down to UDMA33 AKA UDMA Mode 2 as it's the highest spped the i440BX chipset is supporting and DMA will work
Known error/BUG in older 4.51PG Bios - it tries to activate a UDMA Mode the mainboardchipset is not capable of

2 szymoncio and anybody with like problem ("big" HDD, "new" CPU, "+PCI" on VIA-chipsets etc)
You can try this - http://rom.by/Award/patcher/bp-4rc0.rar (with help screen by "/h")
ps. IMHO, reliability (accuracy of patching) patched-bios is ~95-99.9%

fixed - http://rom.by/Award/patcher/BP-4rc2.rar
new in ver.rc2:
- all HDD with UDMA>2 will detect as UDMA33 (on UDMA33_only_MB)
- add K6/K6-2/K6-III/K6-2+/K6-III+ up to 500MHz with Write Allocate support...
some comments:
- BIOS Patcher after patching file make "virtual dual-BIOS":
if you press "-" (or kbd not connected) in the boot of computer - You will start from "original", "non-patching"-BIOS; else - with patched-BIOS...
- BIOS Patcher change NOTHING (in the file of flash-BIOS) - only add two files with STANDART award-utilites (cbrom.exe) - you can this check byself.
(Exception - Asus-bioses. They have nonstandart unpack-algorith, therefore BootBlock must be changed. For Asus-MB+BIOSPatcher flash only with BB).
(and once again sorry for my bad english)
