Hello,

I have a Samsung 120GB hard disk but he is not recognized bij my BIOS.


My BIOS:
Asus Award modular BIOS v4.51pg
i440BX -<<P2B>>

i can't find a upgrade for a award BIOS.
Now i have installed the last BETA version of asus P2B (1014.003)
But my hard disk is also not recognized

Can you help me? Thanks!

The latest Beta should support HDD up to 120GB.
Make sure the Master/Slave/CS jumpers are set according to the position on the IDE cable.
Make sure the IDE cable is functioning - maybe try a different, known good cable.

Do you hear the drive spinning up on boot ?

yes!
He is working now! but not for the full size (120GB) only 32GB.
The hard disk is now Master (i don't know what cable select is, i can try it)

I have al ready read some topics about this problem. But i found no answer.
I hope you can help me, anyway, Thanks!

Sounds like the 32Gb limitation clip is still present - check HDD jumper table or documentation where it resides and remove him. Sometimes jumpersetting noted as alternative capacity
