80GB: 1.00.10.AF2T

[amir007persia]

Hello everyone,
Last week-end i bought a brand new Samsung 80Gb HD for my old PC, but unfortunately the BIOS couldn't detect the new drive. It hangs on 'auto-detect'.

I have found out the information below on the BIOS;

Bios type: American Megatrends licensed to Intel
Bios date: 12/16/94
Bios ID: BIOS VERSION 1.00.10.AF2T
Super I/O: SMC 665GT rev 2 found at port 3F0h
OS: Microsoft Windows 98 SE

CPU

Type: P56
Speed: 60MHz

Can you please help me to get the BIOS to recognise the Hard Drive as this computer is a present for my mothers birthday.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Amir

Hi

AF2, Batmans Revenge. Bios limit is 2GB, more results in hanging, just what you have experienced

Solutions:
1. Different OS like Linux, W2K, XP (maybe NT4)
2. Add-On PCI Card.
3. New Mobo/CPU/Ram

Bye

1.00.xx.AF2: Premiere/PCI ED (Batman's Revenge)

Intel manufactured motherboards that provide BIOS support for a maximum of 2.1 GB include:


Premiere/PCI II
All Premiere family products
Classic/PCI ED
Classic/PCI Expandable Desktop
Classic/PCI LP

And that is with the latest available bios. So the answer is No.
