Maxtor 80 GB with AM BIOS v4.51PG

Goodday

My BIOS says there's only 32 GB instead of 80 GB on my new Maxtor drive. I don't know so much about his stuff so I read the FAQ. Since flashing is risky I am content to use 'overlay software'. My question is: where can I download this software??

Thanks for any replies.

From the HDD manufacturer.

What's your bios id?

2A69KA1EC-xx = Abit BH6 (xx is version of the BIOS)


This one should support >32GB:

I was able to fix the problem with software from the manufacturer. I have now a harddisk with one partition of 74,5 GB.

Thanks for all help
