G'day,
I was helping a mate with his computer and was going to add a 40 gig Quantum Fireball Plus AS HDD (split to two partitions), but it wouldnt show up in the BIOS. I went to DFI for an updated BIOS (the latest dated as 1998/07/03) but it didnt help at all, so I was wondering if any of the BIOS guru's in here could have a look at the BIOS and let me know if it can be patched (and patch it if it isnt too much trouble).
If needed here is the link for the latest BIOS - http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/5txl0703.zip
Thanks in advance.
40 GB : DFI P5BTX/L Rev. B
Edwin has patched that BIOS - you can find an untested version at http://wims.rainbow-software.org/edwin/. Please let us know how it worked. (It's possible Rainbow patched it for mbs last year (here) but never got any feedback).

Thanks for the reply NickS,
Each time I click on the link for the untested version it comes up saying I'm not authorized to view the page.
As to the other link I read that before posting this topic although I didn't see a link for the patched BIOS so hopefully if Rainbow still has it he wouldn't mind sending it my way.
Thanks again.

Well I won't be able to let you know how this BIOS goes as I haven't gotten the go ahead to flash it unfortunately. When I get a spare computer up and running (as a backup for my mate just in case something goes wrong) I should be then able to do the flash and let you all know how it went.
Thanks for the help everyone.
