BIOS update, EIDE card, or overlay software? (FAQ Hard disk recognition)

Neither my 60GB Western Digital, nor my 80GB Samsung harddrive are recognized with the aforementioned Bios. Could my old IDE cable be the problem? Or could my drive-frame be the problem? I've already tried different jumper settings.

Not detected at all or hanging during detection ? Your Bios is supposed to support HDD up to 128/137 GB

Yes, it could. Try a 80-wire cable.
More than 100,000 BIOS strings in my database just now!

Thanks for the advice. My old harddrive frame was the problem. With a direct connection to the controller the drive (80GB and 60GB) are detected.
