BIOS Updates forum

Hi again, you're right, I've to think about that again. But anyway - I've to postpone the whole thing because of my coming holidays. To solve this problem is not compatible with the holidays and my girlfriend. :? Thanks again for all your informations and links, I'll work on the problem in about 3 w...

I think the biggest problem then was so I only made one partition on my HDD, so the BIOS-partition had the full, from the bios not supported 250 gigs. Because of that windows was not able to address the drive correctly 'till the end... :( I already have an partitioning and supporting tool for exactl...

Thanks for the link, just looked at it. I once formatted my drive to 250 gigs with an external USB - PATA-Converter and then reinstalled XP there. After that I had the probs with all the bluescreens after writing more than about 100 gigs on the drive. Could there be the same problem again with this ...

Ok, now I'm back and tried the following: I installed the SP3, since it's just a collection of the patches released since SP2, as you said correctly. --> Nothing changed so far. Then I tried out the newest version of the disc tool from Western Digital. --> And hey, it indeed told me, I didn't have t...

Wow, thanks for this detailed informations again!

Will try this things this night and will post again later about the results...

Ok, did this now as you said. But I don't want to install SP3 for XP, because it should be still very buggy. Still have the prob with the only displayed 128 gigs and a removable drive (Wechseldatenträger) which I don't know, where it's coming from... Is it possible, so my big hard drive isn't compat...

cp, I red your tip on petri.co about the pagefile. There's written the following: Remember that using another partition on the same SYSTEM or DATA HD will not improve your system's performance at all. To do that you'll need a separate fast HD, preferably connected to a different controller. Should I...

Hey, thanks for the quick answer again. Will try to do your steps carefully. BTW: There's already SP2 on the windows disc. Other question: If I'll have some space-problems with the little partition for windows in advance - would it be possible to make the partition bigger, (up to about 128gigs?) lat...

Hi cp, Thanks a lot for your post. Yes, of course I want to learn more about your special system of distributing the space to my lovely progs using it. ;-) Firstly a few questions to your posting: - Do I guess right to use the "partition tool" while installing windows (just at the beginning of the i...

c'mon guys, I know you are able to solve my prob...

The system crashed now (while trying to copy again as much data as possible on the harddrive) by 95.8GB already. But of course, the system begins to write to the second half of the HD already before the 137 gigs are filled. Just assumed...

Hi together, I tried now over a week and also red the Sticky note and A LOT of discussions about (almost) my problem. But it still exists and I'm sure, you guys wanna help me. I've a Travelmate 660 from Acer with a new 250 gig harddrive, only 137 gigs have been recognised. So made the Bios update (i...
