Hi,

I just bougth a Seagate Barracude ATA IV 80 GB (model ST380021A) harddisk to replace my crashed 15,3GB IBM.

The problem is I cannot get this drive to work on my ASUS TX97-X with the latest beta-bios. I tried the drive overlay software from Seagate but no succes.

Does anybody have any hints...?

Does there exist a BIOS that supports harddrives of the size?

thanks in advance,
j-w

That BIOS is patched only up to 64GB. Will send you new patched version up to 128GB.

I've mailt it to rainbow before:

i flashed the bios and everything is fine now. an updating report i'll give in a few weeks.

my old bios was from bios.rom.by/Asus/index.htm
with this one i was able to boot (the standard bios freezes) and then to install ez-bios.

You have a patched Bios to support your HDD but you installed EZ-Bios on it ? ? ? ? ? ?

If I read that correctly I think he meant the bios from bios.rom.by
