Let's detail the thing a little bit: on power up, I get the EPA logo, I get the AWARD Modular BIOS v4.51PG message, I get the ID string on the bottom of the screen and that's all. A cursor is flashing under the last letter of the upper AWARD message and nothing else happens. I cleared the CMOS, both...

Oh, too bad about the UDMA... :( I just tried yesterday (in a hurry) to check a 60 GB HDD on my old BIOS (unpatched yet), and it wouldn't recognize it at all. No name, no cylinders/heads/sectors, nothing. I've been much too busy these days, to take the time and patch the BIOS, and- to be true- I'm a...

Thanks for the tip! I did it and the result is here: http://drugwash.fateback.com/BIOS_pack_2A59GU79.zip I included the AWDFlash version I used, just in case.

No, I didn't try a large HDD yet, but all other problems really claim for an update. How could I save the BIOS in a file and send it to you, so you can compare the contents? I wouldn't like to screw things up more than they really are..

Hello! As far as I can tell, my mobo is some chinese crap, and even an ancient one. But I have to live with it, for the moment. I kinda need an update for higher HDD capacity (over 8,4GB) and USB support (which is currently unavailable). Also the boot devices options are pretty scarse: A,C and C,A :...
