40G Seagate Barracuda 7200: 2A69KD1K

[istvannagy81]

I recently got a DTK PRM008I E1 mobo, which doesn't recognize my Seagate Barracuda 7200 40gig HDD. Can you give me some directions what to do? I did not find any new BIOS updates to solve this problem, DTK said that they have discontinued the updates for this mobo...
As I saw, many people had successfully patched their bioses to support new HDDs. I also heard about a AWARD bios problem with hdd sizes above 32G.

Is PRM-0081I E1 your exact board model? If so, then BIOS version 3.05 supports HDDs upto 128GB.

my motherboard is PRM 0080I E1, I guess that this is the single processor version of the 81I!!!

Which version?
PRM-0080I E1 (Rev.RA)
PRM-0080I E1 (Rev.RB)
PRM-0080I E1 (Rev.RC or above)
PRM-0080I E1 (Winbond 83781D)
Can you post your BIOS string?

I finally got an update for that d*mn bios, and it works!!!!
It is v.3.18 from the DTK site. Everything looks OK, I can even make Windows XP hibernate and wake-up
