Hi, I have problem installing both 120 and 80 GB IBM Hard drives on a Micron Computer which has BMC DR737 motherboard
I see the ram checking and the name of the drive.

But once i get to the table where it show how many serial port,printer port, extented memory, and the master ,slave of primary & secondary drive, the table hangs there.

It only displays the word up to UDMA and then the system hangs there forever.

The latest Bios

I upload the unzipped bin file to my website in case you don't want to create the boot disk

The following are the BIOS and Motherboard info:
