BIOS Updates forum

Anyone?

What are my other options is Bio Upgrades and Jumpers don't work?

>How does the bios detect your drive ?
Does it only show 32GB too or does it show more ?

Maybe, I can'[t find it but my bios doesn't specify the HD size. It does have the correct model number.

>It is possible the HDD capacity limitation jumper is set as factory default, please remove it to check ...

is the HDD detected in the bios correctly?

What do you mean by correctly? Do you mean does the bios see the HD and the answer is yes.

did you check the jumpers on the hdd for size limitation?

The way I understand the manual is that you only use the jumper if the computer freezes on start-up ...

The hard Drive is made by Seagate and should be about 400GB.

Yes I did Format and Partition but the HD only reads a little over 33 G.B.

More info...hope this helps

I have bios GB85010A.86A.0060.p18 which is the latest bios upgrade intel offers but it doesn't resolve my HD capacity issue.

I just purchased a 400GB hard drive to use as additional storage. Xp is running on a 20gb HD.

The problem is that it only says the new HD is 33+ gb?

What are my options ...
