greetings.

I have bought a 160GB Western Digital Harddrive.
The Tyan doesn´t recognize the hdd.... could anyone send me a Bios that fixes my problem?!

thanks

EDIT: now it recognizes the drive but it is only 128GB... would you think it´s the board or WIN98SE?!

You'll probably need an add-on EIDE controller card to get 48-bit addressing.
Flash your BIOS at your own risk.

which Controller would you prefer?

I´ll try installing WIN2k and spitting the drive, maybe it helps...
