80GB - 08/11/2000-MVP3-596-W877-2A5LEPADC-00

Hi,
i have a EPOX MVP3G-M (1M) Mainboard with an AMD K6 3/400.

My new 80 GB IBM HD will not work correct on this Board, the HD will be found with 32GB.

BIOS Date : 08/11/00
Award BIOS : Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
Award ID-String : 08/11/2000-MVP3-596-W877-2A5LEPADC-00
Board/BIOS-Version : 08/11/2000 For Apollo MVP3 AGP/PCIset
Chipset : MVP3-596-W877 //VIA Apollo VP3 (597)

I think, I will need a new Bios, but the Version (08/11/00) is the latest from Epox. Where can I get a newer?

THX
Andy

Remove the 32GB Limitation jumper from your HDD

If your Bios hangs during HDD detection you'll need a patch otherwise not

I removed the 32GB Limitation jumper from my HDD and now my Bios hangs during HDD detection.

Where can I get a patch?
