Hey there,
My friend just bought a new Maxtor DiamondMAX PLUS 9 120GB 7200RPM 2MB 8.5MS ATA133 Quiet HDD and am having trouble installing it. Window XP can see it, but it won't show up in the BIOS. I'm pretty sure that I need to upgrade the BIOS in order to get the drive to work. I've had trouble finding the upgrade, so I thought I would check with the people here so see if anyone knew which was the correct BIOS to get. I know that BIOS upgrading is dangerous so I want to be sure I'm doing the right thing.
Here's my BIOS Wizard Info:

I thought that I had found the right one here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/b ... =MS-6156BX but when i tried to flash it gave me an error message so I didn't continue.
