Is there an upgrade or patch so that I can use all of my Hitachi 120Gb HDD?
Thanks,
Peter

Many thanks, Rainbow, that's done the trick.
Just one small problem; the BIOS now performs a continuously looping Memory Test, which I have to terminate with ESC. There don't appear to be any setup options to disable or modify Memory Test.
Is Memory Test a bootblock or a main BIOS function? If it's bootblock, would it be possible/advisable to reinstate the 1005 bootblock and leave the 1010 main block?
I'm using ASUS PFLASH2.

Just a thought: did you clear CMOS after flashing ?

BIOS FEATURES SETUP -> Quick Power On Self Test -> Enabled

Usually done with loading Setup defaults in Bios just after flashing (as Asus suggest you to do everytime you flash a new bios)

Once again thanks, Rainbow. That's fixed it.

Yes, that's what I did. It must have set QPOST to Disabled.
