Hi,
I just got a problem to get my 80GB harddisk to work in this notebook. If I reduce it's size to 32GB, the notebook detects it fine.
It's a AWARD 4.51PG BIOS so it should get around with harddisks up to the LBA48 limitation.
I tried patching it myself, but it's a 2Mbit ROM with integrated VGA, and I am to stupid getting the files of the Binary.
So could you please patch me the BIOS so it's recognizing the harddisk fully, and so remove the 32/64GB bug out of the BIOS.
Here is the link for downloading the BIOS:

If you then take the BIOS in your list, this Notebook was also selled under other Brands as: IPC Lifestyle and Gericom GPS2000TFT.

Thanks Konstantin
