Who can help me to get a patched bios for a chaintec motherboard type 6ssa2.
Please help me. I want to install a 60 GB WD harddisk but it is not
working.
I checked the chaintech site for latest bios, but there is no newer bios.
Bios info 04/16/1999-SiS-5600-8661-2A6ILC39C- 00
Hope someone can help me

On the other hand, it doesn't work great.
It does recognize my disk know, but I cannot do much with it. I tried fdisk, but it doesn't pass the integrity check. I tried it with win2000 bootable cd and I can make the partitions, but I cannot format them, I get a BSOD.
If I put the HD in a other computer it workes fine, if I put an smaller (6 gig) HD in the computer it workes fine. I installed win98 on the new disk on a other computer, and when I put it in the computer it hangs halfway through the boot.
Does anybody have any idea?
P.S. it is a chaintech slot 1 6ssa2

and check wattage rating of your power supply. Cleared CMOS after the flash?

Hoi Edwin,
The tip about clearing the cmos was the golden tip. After the flashing I loaded the setup defaults, but that apparantly wasn't enough. After I cleared the cmos everything worked well.
Thanx a bunch!!!
Groeten, Roberti
