does the lastest bios support 80G harddrive? there is no explanation, only a previous version supports 40G...

there is no the patched and tested bios update for ABIT ZM6 board.

any suggestion please.

Help.....................

At least one version show "support 40GB HDD" so the 32GB Bug got patched.
Install the latest version and test it with your 80GB HDD - hopefully they did not forgot to patch the 64GB Bug.

Denniss,

By any chance you have a updated bios for my ZM6?

I will try your suggestion of testing the lasted ZM6 bois version, will let you know the result.

what is uniflash? can I use it?

Thank you in advance.

[Denniss]

Uniflash is a universal flash utility.
Please use the flashprog Abit suggests to use or Uniflash to update your Bios.
If the latest Bios does not cure your problems then one of the mods will try to patch the latest Bios for you.
