We beta-patch them, but it's upto you to try it out. Our patched BIOSes will boot your system, no problem, but we depend on your feedback to find out whether your HDD is recognized or not.

Thank you all.

After BIOS update my MOBO detecting 80 GB HDD.

I was trying to install Windows 98 SE.
FDISK is able to do just for 10 GB.

I Tried with DM, It was showing the max disk size only 8.5 GB

I installed Windows 2000 Proff. Everything is fine. it was showing full disk size.

Once again i thank to all you guys,
