You need to know either your motherboard revision or the Bios version displayed just below the Award Logo on Bootup. You have either SA or SB Bios. New Bios should be of the same type.

Latest Biosfiles SA4124 and SB4124 available from here:

SB4124 is newer than the patched SB413, maybe contains fixes for HDD detection as well.

Thanks!!!

Looks like we can retire the patched version.
