yes, I'd like because I need install a new HD and it's a Caviar WD400BB (40GB), so if you can please send me a patched version or tell me where to find.

Thanks a lot

i have another problem : he has lost the diskette to upgrade the bios so with the bin file i cannot continue, is it downloadable somewhere ???

OK, some updated info here :)
I found awdflash.exe on the internet and some bios upgrades for the MB. However when i try 6120104a.bin or 6120208a.bin i get the message :
'This program file's part number does not match with your system!' ... so what do i have to do now ???

For my my records... can you post your exact BIOS Agent report before flashing? These two lines don't match with my database:
BIOS ID: 03/04/1998-i440LX-W977TF-ATC-6120c-00
BIOS version: 2.0 06 WB
BIOS Agent can be downloaded here:

Hi Kuriaki,

THANKS for replying so soon !! I indeed managed now to upgrade my bios, and the HD is recognized !
I noticed the bios itself is altered since i cannot do autodetect HD anymore, and if i connect the larger hd in combination with the original (6 GB containing windows 98) it is not seen by windows 98, but who cares if it works :D
As you requested i ran bios agent and got the following (copying and pasting from a text file, i hope it is ok for you) :

Program: eSupport.com BIOS Agent Version 3.45
BIOS Date: 09/23/98
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
BIOS ID: 09/23/98-i440LX-W977TF-ATC-6120C
OEM Sign-On: ATC-6120 VER:2.0 06 WB
Chipset: Intel 440EX/LX rev 3
Superio: Winbond 977TF rev 0 found at port 3F0h
OS: Win98
CPU: Pentium® II With On-Die L2 Cache 334 MHz
BIOS ROM In Socket: Unknown
BIOS ROM Size: Unknown
Memory Installed: 191 MB
Memory Maximum: Unknown

I must admit i did a copy and paste from another entry in the forum so maybe not all the parameters i gave were correct, but the values above are certainly the right ones which i obtained via windows 98 before upgrading the bios !

At this very moment i have booted the PC with the new hd from the CD of XP Pro and it recognizes the disk perfectly ! i will try to attach the old hd to the secondary IDE so that my collegue can recover his old files.

Thanks thanks thanks thanks again and happy newyear !!

Do you have a backup of the old BIOS file?
I want the file, please, send it zipped to my e-mail.
