My moderboard is hanging when it tries to detect my Seagate 60 Gb
Make: A-Trend
Chipset: Via MVP3
Bios: Award Modular Bios - V4.52PG
Bios version: ATC-5220C VER:1.0 08 GS
I've seen some ATC-5220 bios upgrades but they don't solve the 32 GB limit so I need the patched version of my bios.
Anybody can help me?
Thanks a million

Wow! I can't believe it. I flashed my board with your bin file and now it works perfectly with my 60 GB HD. Any problem at all.
Thanks a lot.

Recently I've discovered a problem and I don't know what's the problem. Hard disc is recognized well by the bios and I've no problem with it under Linux or MS_DOS but I can't start windows 98 with it.I've tried so many ways:
-launching windows from a different HD
-reinstalling windows 98
-with the auto-limitation jumper at 32 GB
but all times while starting it windows 98 hangs while showing the typical blue progressbar at the botton of the screen.
I've been searching for a solution in the seagate's page but nothing appears to work.
Anybody know what can I do?
Thanks

Have you re-FDISKed it before reinstalling Windows?

Yes, and I tried with F-Disk and with a Seagate disk utility but nothing appears to make windows boot succesfully. The only way I can boot with windows 98 is in safe mode.

Just curiosity... try disabling UDMA in BIOS and see how it behaves.

Yes!! I don't know why but disabling UDMA (was in AUTO mode) it works fine. Thanks a lot.

Then download utility from HDD manufacturer, set the HDD to UDMA/33 and re-enable UDMA in BIOS.
