Nick,

I have flashed succesfully with the upgrade as posted on the bios page, and my hd is still not found. I have used the "powermax 4.09" program to test my drive. It passed every test except the bios extention test. I even tried to enter the data manually as provided by maxtor (heads, cyl, etc ...
