BIOS Updates forum

Recently my PC clock is losing a lot of time.
It did not happened before, EVER.
This started after my BIOS flash.

Any idea on this?

How can I see the contents of a .bin or .rom file ? How can I edit these kind of files ? What am I supposed to know to do this kind of thing ? Can a 256 Kb .bin file be flashed in a bios whose original size is 128 kb ? What features can be added with a flash other than the 32GB HDD limitation ? Can ...

NickS, THANKS.
Your patched BIOS solved all my problems.
Thanks again.

I a need a file viewer for RES file(as said in windows). The file extension is .res. Please help.

Win2k was not able to use the full capacity of the hard disk, i.e. about 38GB. Win2k only showed about 31.5GB. The boot partition is in C drive. It is not a multi-boot system. Do you mean anything else by full capacity?

I have tried the dynamic drive overlay software by samsung. I am now able to access about 37.25GB of my actual HDD space in Win2k.
THANKS gb.

gb said "I have set the jumpers to 32". What do you mean by that?

Nick, what kind of problems can a DDO program cause?

I have some problems in my existing mail id. So I didn't receive any mails since 8/8/2002.
Please re-send any mails to my new mail id.

If I had an updated BIOS available from Totem, I would definitely flash(after taking the necessary precautions), but the latest which I found from their website had a BIOS date of 31/8/1998, which didn't solve my problem. I know that a DDO program is not the best solution but its better than having ...

So Nick, you are saying that you solved your BIOS problem WITHOUT flashing your BIOS by using a "dynamic drive overlay" program or a Disk Manager type program. My BIOS has only the 32GB limit, the 8.4GB limit problem was NEVER there. Will the utility, mentioned here "http://www.samsungindia.com/what...

You are right. I found out that Award BIOSs which were made before June 1999 had this bug. After June 1999, this bug was removed. But please remember that I can't afford to loose my present motherboard. Hey I am not a rich guy, besides that I have just bought the new 40 GB Samsung hard disk on 6th A...

I have used the BIOS available at http://www.totem.com.tw/uindex.htm. When I set the jumper od hdd to 40 gb, it is hanging. When I set the jumper od hdd to 32 gb, it is NOT hanging. IDE cable is put correctly. What is the dynamic drive overlay software, anything like this for Samsung harddisks ? Wha...

I have a Totem TM-P2EXAT Version 1.02 motherboard, BIOS ID string after flashing is "08/31/1998-i440LX-W977TF-2A69JTJCC-00". Before flashing, the date portion was "05/18/1998". BIOS size is 128kb. Still my new 40 GB Samsung hard disk is not recognised. Please help.
