HI All
I have currently a 50 gb hdd from samsung sv 6004h
And my mbd is a ex98 from Zida company.
Now to get over 32 gb limit. I flash upgraded the bios from the website of Zida ex98110E.zip now the issue is that the update was pre 7/99 And hance 32 gb limit didnt go ..
Now I dont know wat to do with this..
Should I use things like Gigabyte 's @Flash software whenmy mbd is ZIDA (taiwan)
And FWIW . here is the mbd string:
61-0610-003100-00111111-071595-i440LX
The mbd is called EX98 .. enuff info methinks .. now wat to do brothers ...
thx in adv

In general I would not use any bios or flash not destine for the orginal motherboard. I would look for a EIDE contoller with onboard bios....

32GB Limit Jumper set on HDD ?
Tried entering HDD values manually in Bios Setup if Autodetect fails or sees nothing ?

Some of the associates of this forum are testing a mod that may work. But, at this stage it is a bit dangerous and is not someting the average PC User can do. I would go for a add in card... They can be had for les than $30 in sosme places - like the US. Look at www.pricewatch.com

The fix will be for Award BIOSes only and this board has AMI...
