My computer can't detect the 40 GB Seagate hard drive. I suspect I need to upgrade my BIOS?

Where can I find an upgrade for this Award BIOS?

Unfortunately I don't have the computer available. I have only collected the BIOS id string...thougt that would be enough. Any other ideas?

Yep. Go get the machine and have a look. :wink:

Or just ask someone if you can send them your current BIOS for patching.
Flash your BIOS at your own risk.
