40GB: MSI MS-6117 (AMIBIOS Version)
I noticed there are BIOS HD fixes for the MS-6117 mobo with Award BIOS. I tried them on my mobo but none of them worked properly.

AMI bios is not patchable yet .
Try the very latest Bios and enter HDD parameters naually + activate LBA
The only other chance is crossflashing to Award Bios but you have to Clear CMOS and load Setup defaults in Bios after flashing .
Or get a PCI Add-In Controller card

Well i'll see what I can do. Thanks anyway
A "No Active Partition found" error sounds to me like a software problem.
If you are using FDISK to manage your partitions, when you view the partitions on the drive (option 4) there should be a status "A" for active.
I cannot remember the option numbers, but FDISK includes in it's menus an option to set a partition active.

Have you got a spare drive of similar size that you could temporarily try in the system, that you could wipe all data off and repartition and reformat. Backup anything you need to keep first.
I'm suspecting the BIOS doesn't like something about the way your drive is partitioned and formatted. If you are intending to use the drive as a boot drive and you are transferring from another machine, it is usually better to backup your data from the drive, and reinstall Windows after repartitioning and reformatting anyway (using the machine that the drive is being transferred to).
