Hallo everyone,
is there any chance to make my old ASUS board detect this 160 GB HDD? What is the last BIOS-UPDATE ?

Thank's a lot

If the 160GB HDD is not used to boot any OS then leave the port the hdd is connected to at none (AKA no HDD connected) and let your OS (W2K/XP with latest servicepacks) detect your HDD - might work or not
At least an Add-on controller is better as it's ways faster than OnBoard IDE,too
