Having bought a Samsung 80 GB HDD (SV8004H-Series).
Elitegroup P5VP-A+ doesn't support HDD bigger than 32 GB also latest BIOS i'd found is flashed (V2.2f). Mentioned version on the board (2.2h) isn't available anymore.
Anyone patched this one or can tell how to do it?


Thanks in advance

George

I can take a look - a URL is often helpful if you've already found the latest and would like it patched. zdnet.de ? Hmmm...
[edit] Paths to www.zdnet.de seem to be down...

The file listed under 2.2h there is actually 1.1h, but if you change the target url you can download 2.2h. That's now patched and will be available at the URL in my sig within a few minutes.
