hello

I need an upgrade for BIOS Award 4.51PG to support large Hard Disk. Anybody can help me?

there is one interesting thing,my motherboard's user's manual[book] shows that my motherboard is magellan EX P6EX-AT and on motherboard chip is written FW82443EX that means intel 82440EX chipset,but ctbios shows this "09/02/1998 i440LX-ITE867-2A69JF2QC-00 P6EX-AT Ver.2.0"
i found my motherboards site
http://www.efacorp.com/products/magellanex.htm
its exactly the same.
and there is no new bios update,but i saw that it is possible to make the old bios to support large hard disk,its support 32gb now,but i have 60gb hard disk.
so ill be thankfull if someonee could help me.

thanks

Have you installed it before the patch using drive-overlay Software or using the 32GB limitation jumper ?
What's your OS ?
With NT/W2K or XP using NTFS a reinstall might be needed or at least a removal and re-install of the 40GB partition
