latest bios:

I do not know if this will support the 160GB harddisk.

Hi Edwin,

I Have upgraded the Bios with the image VIG1224.BS4, after this also My pc is not detecting my 160 HDD. I will try update the image given by you Vig0916.bs4 and post you.

Thanks a lot for your quick response.

which operating system are you using? if it's Windows XP make sure to have SP2 installed, if it's Windows 2k make sure to have SP4 installed. you won't need a bios update to use the full size of the hdd. only one drawback: the boot partition (where windows is installed) has to be completely within the space that is detected by the bios (in your case: 128GB).
