120GB: MSI MS-6119
Posted: Wed Jul 10, 2002 1:34 pm
Help - I have an MSI MS-6119 MB used as a DVD player. I need big hard drives, and I am trying to add Maxtor 120 GB drives to the system.
There are 2 BIOS options available to me, both with a catch.
1 - Version W6119MS V2.9 082100, shown as 08/03/2000-i440BX-W977-2A69KM4AC-00 supports 133 MHz front side bus (needed for my 733MHz PIII) but won't boot with big drives, and
2- version W6119MS V2.10 082100, shown as 08/21/2000-i440BX-W977-2A69KM4AC-00 supports only a 100 MHz front side bus and so drives my CPU only as a 550MHz PII but does recognise big drives.
SO - MSI won't help (I have tried them) and I need a BIOS revision to the 2.9 version with 133 MHz FSB support so it will also support big 120Gb drives. Can anyone help me?
