BIOS Updates forum

Is this BIOS still awailable on the Net? I failed to find it. Please post the URL.

I checked the reported disk geometry with all 3 methods (normal - 16Heads, 63 Sectors, large -128heads, 63 sectors, LBA -CHS values seem meaningless) With the normal method the BIOS printed the correct geometry (123GB in the POST table, 123 in the BIOS settings). That worked fine in linux, but WinXP...

The fdisk included in debian Linux identifies it correctly. There are some problem with the partition table, because the head count increased from 16 to 127 (reported physical geometry: 59131/16/255, logical: 29917/128/63) so I'll have to repartition the HDD. I'll check the DOS FDISK after that, but...

I'm using it already
There seems to be a problem with it:
It recognizes the drive as 123 (MB or GB - the metric is not printed...)
in the BIOS IDE autodetection menu. However, it reverts to the 2139MB size in the POST information table...

Hi!
I bought an IBM 120GB HDD (S/N: IC35L120AVVA07-0) and the BIOS mentioned in this thread recognizes it as 2139MB HDD. Please let me know wether the 120GB patch for the M577 BIOS is still in the works or has been called off.
Many thanks.
Adam.
