We can't use our utility because it's an AMI BIOS.

Or enter HDD parameters manually.

Another chance is crossflash to an Award Bios
We already have a patched Award Bios for this board using an OEM-Bios from Vobis/Maxdata

Sure it's 100% compatible? Sure it's just an OEM BIOS and not OEM board?
VOBIS Bios

AFAIK the only OEM mainboards by MSI are the ones who are not listed by MSI official mainboards on their website
All others have only a customized Bios with some(or a lot) options left hidden
Vobis OEM

hi,
with vobis oem (award) the system hangs up, while attempting hdd parameters.
i can start the pc, the harddrive will be found. formatting the drive (40GB) will take about 7 h !!! but at least, it works (i wonder)
any idea accessing drive parameters ?

Seen that before... might be a UDMA issue. Try downgrading your HDD to UDMA33 with the appropriate utility from your HDD manufacturer, and then try formatting it again. It should take a lot less time now.

Please post your Bios-ID including the Bios OEM message like W6140V2 1.3 ... or similar .
What's the hardware revision of your board ?
-> Look at your board - there should be MS-6140 Ver:1 printed onto the board

Perfect match for your board - confirmed Vobis/Maxdata OEM .
Install it and your computer should support the Big HDD
