OK, I've just patched the latest BIOS available at http://www.epox.com

You'll find it at: http://wims.rainbow-software.org/ajz/

Don't forget to give us some feedback.

Note: the EPOX site warns against flashing if your system is overclocked.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi again! :D

The patch works fine so far!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

It all went well, the BIOS flashing, booting without halting on POST, BIOS and WinXP recognizing 80GB (+-76GB)... all great and smooth :)

I haven't tried with Linux yet, but i'm sure it will work fine!

You really gave me a big, BIg help!! I already lost hope on finding a BIOS update from Epox and buying a new board (+processor, +RAM) was impossible for me.... thanks to you I can breathe easily again.


Once again, Thank you for your help...
