hi, this problem might have been discussed many times (probably 1000 yrs ago) but I need help
I need to upgrade my bios so that it can see 20GB HDD.
detail of my bios are
BIOS Date: 07/15/95
BIOS Type: American Megatrends
BIOS ID: 51-1700-008045-00111111-071595-I430VX
Chipset: Intel Triton 430VX rev 2
Superio: UMC/ITE 8669 rev 0 found at port 108h
I also found some old topic on this forum explaining the whole problem, but I still can't manage with upgrading
I downloaded this:
MB520N 430 VX Baby AT AMI 35-8258-XX 70503a All
from pcpartners web site, made a disquette, reboot PC, it asks for filename which i gave 520N503U.ROM , it seems to read sth from the disquette and then nothing, the whole PC just rests idle
is it the right update and right filename ? (there are 3 different in that update pocket)
what i could do wrong during updating ?
also, is it possible that old bios makes the whole pc (with that 20GB HDD) work very slow ? (it is P120, 48 RAM)
thanx for any help
can I upgrade it at all ?? :?
ok, upgraded v. 6.34 is more stable indeed.
now my bios is Bios-u 70503a
but... it seems not to resolve the main problem - HDD
bios still sees only 8 GB
does that mean it's not upgradeable more ? (the upgrade pocket seemed to be the newest)
