Epox EP-61BXA-M (2M) or EP-6ZXB or EP-6ZXM or EP-BX2 or EP-BX2P or EP-BX3 or EP-BXC-A or EP-BXT or EP-ZXA
(They all seem to share the same BIOS)

thank u for the great help.
I downloaded the bios file . I upgraded my bios , but when I start my computer and install windows 2000 on the 80 GB HD , I restart the computer and I receive this message :
Error Loading OS .
I don't understand why .
I have the windows 2000 installed but it doesn't get recognized .
Do u think that I need to set up the bios manually to recognize my 80GB HD ???
Can u help me please ??
thank u
