What are the symptoms ? Hang at "Detecting..." or hang at configuration display screen ?

And you used the BIOS from http://wims.rainbow-software.org/ ?
That has been tested with 60GB but not with >67GB AFAIK

If this is the BIOS you used we will have to try a different patcher for your drive.

Thanks for your help so far

Thanks very much for your help.
