Fujitsu Lifebook: 10Gb HDD not recognized

Hi I have a Fujitsu Lifebook 735Dx laptop with a Phoenix Bios 4.0, release 5.1 (Lifebook 735 Dx bios ver 1.03). I tried to upgrade my HDD to a 10.2 Gb Fujitsu MHG2102AT, but when I install it, the bios autodetects it as a 8.4Gb HDD, the system hangs and refuses to boot. I checked the Fujitsu support...

ATI All-in-Wonder 128: NTSC to PAL tuner by hacking BIOS?

Hello all of ya!
I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 Pro PCI card which has a NTSC tuner. Does anybody know if it could be possible to "convert" the tuner to a PAL one, by "hacking" the BIOS (e.g. flashing the bios from a similar card with a PAL tuner or something)?
