I downloaded the update available there and flashed the bios.
However, the update is also of 01/12/1999 which I already have in my PC.
Any other source where that patched update can be found ?

Please check to make sure that you do not have a 32GB limit jumper fitted to your drive.

there must be another jumper installed limiting your drive to show only 32GB. Look what's printed onto your HDD or try the manufacturer's website.

Try without jumper, as slave.

Confirm that the BIOS update worked - you now get the message:

This Bios was only patched up to 60GB - needs additional patching for 64+ GB. My patcher is on my other computer at home, sadly I'm not at home for some days so someone else please patch.
