Hi, i tried to update my bios with this one: http://www.seanix.com/downloads/Drivers ... u_bios.zip

After the flash i rebooted and everything was the same even with the Bios Agent i dont see any difference with the info. So i guess i just flashed with the same version of the bios ? Anyway i hope you can help me because i really need this ned 120 gig HDD

thanks!

OK. Just checked. I had to create the boot floppy first... The BIOS only had support for upto 64GB, so I patched it for you.

All you have to do is replace the GAT11DE.BIN file in your boot floppy (created by the link you posted) with the version I'm sending you by email right now.

Note: the BIOS you had and the one in the link are the same release.

Hi!

Sorry for the "me too" post... but I prefer to dig up an older related thread than starting a new one for nothing.

I've got the exact same motherboard and I would like to install a 120GB drive on it too.

Is that patched bios still available?

I give you a second success confirmation. There is no more "hang" at startup and you even corrected the problems in the setup menus.

Thanks for the great work

Hi, same problem here. Can the "Seanix Columbia" patch apply on a Seanix Gatineau ?

If not, is it possible to post a Gatineau-compatible version ?

(Sorry for reviving such an old thread ... I really don't want to screw up this computer, especially since, well, it's not mine )

**UPDATE**
I found the following files on
kuriaki.myftp.org/Archives/BIOS/SEANIX/Gatineau/

gat11de.bin
gatineau_11.exe

Are those the correct file for my motherboard ?

Bloody annoying bug this is !
