80GB: 01/26/1999-VT82C580VP-2A5LA008C-00

Hi,

my Board does't recognize my 80GB HD- It hangs during "Detecting IDE Primary Master".

I tried the following BIOS-Versions:

First
ftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/motherboard/bios/s ... 10aj13.zip

then this
ftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/motherboard/bios/s ... 393dc4.awd

Both doesn't seem to work.

Thanks in Advance,

ScottyTM

So these bioses can be flashed on your board without any other problems?

[edwin]

zip-file is corrupt, so I used the .awd one. Patched bios sent.

[ScottyTM]

Thx, i was able to flash the Bios, but afterwards when i enter the Bios-Setup and select "Standard CMOS Setup" to activate the Autodetection of the HD the Setup hangs while printing "Secondary Slave: "

Can this be fixed?

Is anything connected to the secondary slave? What have you got connected on your IDE ports?

[ScottyTM]

Nothing, only one HD at the primary channel jumpered to master.

It's not the Autodetection that fails, but the printing of the Bios Screen.

Check your HDD for a Single-Master setting especially if you have a WD drive or use Cable Select if you use an 80wire UDMA cable

Stupid me. I flashed the BIOS again with command line options you gave me. Now autodetection works, but the "Standard CMOS Setup" still hangs.

The Maxtor HD is the only thing connected to IDE.

Some bioses have this problem after the 64GB barrier patch, still under investigation. Can you access the other screens without any problem?

[ScottyTM]

The other screens work without any problem, but when I select "IDE HDD Auto Detection" there are some display errors and when it comes to Secondary Slave it hangs.

[edwin]

Yep, sounds typical, we have seen that before. Unfortunately this has not been solved yet. You can boot the system without any problems?

[ScottyTM]

As far as I can see yes.

The BIOS detects my HD and i can boot from it.
