BIOS Updates forum

I got this problem. I noticed it a few days ago:

Although my HDD is properly recognized in BIOS (Maxtor 60GBs) it is saved as a 28GBs disk!! When I use "IDE HDD Autodetection" in BIOS it detects it OK (says 58466 or so, don't remember exactly). When I "Save and Exit" and then enter BIOS again, it ...

I solved the problem, thanks for all the help!

THX!

Eee... the date of the new BIOS is: 2000-08-17, the rest of the string is the same, I think...

THX for all the help! I've sent a private message for robertM, if You didn't recive it, please let me know! THX!

Before the upgrade the BIOS was:

11/06/1998-i440BX-W977TF-2A69KC39C-00

I upgraded it using the bios provided by the manufacturer - Chaintech. I used the correct upgrade, I'm sure of that.

As far as the drive is concerned, it's a 60GBs Maxtor. Model: 6Y060L0.
The drive is NEW, it's three weeks old ...

Err... Yes, my HDD is set to Auto/LBA. But sometimes in the table with the components, instead of LBA, there is CHS! What is this "CHS" anyway?? As far as the Boot Manager is concerned, I dunno! Everytime I try to install Win2k or WinXP I delete and create the primary partition, so I don't think ...

Hey, people! If ya don't know, how to solve my problem, then write it (cause the problem seems illogical to me, but the fact, that it occurs is quite... eee... weird)! THX!

Eee, I know, why I couldn't access the forum, something with the sites' host change... It's working now, as You can read

Yes, I tried that too! I did the following things:

1. No partitions on Primary Master, I launched the installer, created partition C using the Win2k/XP installer (the files were successfully copied onto the C drive). Hangs after first restart (just after the table with system components). No ...

Yes I did. Win98 can be installed normally, only Win2k and WinXP seem to be affected by this problem.

Hi! I've recently upgraded my BIOS for my Chaintech 6-btm motherboard. The problem is as follows: before the upgrade I could install any operation system (Win98,Win2k,WinXP). But now, I can only install Win98 :( I don't have to mention, that Win98 sucks. When I try to install Win2k or WinXP the ...

THX! I've downloaded the BIOS upgrade and everything is okie dokie! Now I can have fun with my 60GBs.

If someone knows where I could find the proper BIOS upgrade, could he let me know? I've checked some places on the net, but couldn't find one. The url from the BIOS checker doesn't work THX!

Hi! I have a 60 GB Maxtor HDD and it isn't detected by the setup unless I use the capacity limit :( Could you send me the proper BIOS upgrade with the AWARD Flash Utility? All the info on my BIOS is here:
