There are BIOSes from MSI which support HDD >64GB on many versions of MS-6156. Please use BIOS Agent or similar to provide all the info requested in the posting guidelines for this forum.

What do you mean is the right Forum ?


My Bios Version should support HDDs Larger then 64GB, but their is a known Bug in Award Bios V4.51PG.
Theirs no newer Bios version for this Board.

Some guys have succesfully patched this Bug in Bios versions for many boards, but i haven´t found a patch for MS6156 2.1BX7.

From the patcher site i was linkt to this forum, they said for the most boards it is easy to create the patch. (http://wims.rainbow-software.org)

So I hope to find someone here,who can do this.

1. This board www.wimsbios.com/phpbb2 contains multiple fora (forums). Each forum contains a number of threads or topics, and each thread or topic is composed of a number of posts. You require a BIOS to support HDD >32GB. The correct forum to post your request was "My hard drive isn't recognized".

2. It appears that you have not read the posting rules for the board or the posting rules for this forum. If you read the posting rules for this forum you would understand what information we are requesting.

3. Not every Award 4.51 BIOS has the bug. In some it has been fixed. In some of the BIOSes for some versions of MS-6156 it has been fixed already. If you post the full information requested we may be able to identify the BIOS you have now and which version of MS-6156 you have. We may identify a version from MSI with the bug fixed or we may be able to identify which BIOS we need to patch.
