BIOS Updates forum

Hello

Someone asked me to solve a problem with a Biostar m6tlc mainboard
so his kid can use it again
he did try to flash it and something did go wrong board wouldn't even post anymore then he tried to pull of the chip and broke it so had to use another one

the 32 pin chip /prom used on the biostar board was a 28Cxxx
the new one came of a Asus P/1 P55tpv4 and was is 29ee010

and i hotflashed it on the asus with uniflash with the tlc0306b.bin
carefully pulled the chip off, placed it on the biostar

booted the biostar and it posted tried to set the cmos that worked

But it won't regonize any hd even the old once 8gb, 4gb, 540mb and 85mb

ide is fine a boot from cd works with windows xp or knoppix
anyone any suggestion's????



ow almost forgot i've tried to flash the biostar again with uniflash same file didn't solve the problem

and also mem testing takes some time cycle's 3 time's even with quick boot enabled.

checking hd with cmos setting auto on all four ide devices takes to long
on the ide device where the hd is put.
the board regonize the cd-rom almost at once

still trying
flashed it over and over again

and now i've a 4gb seagate attached as a prime master and guess what the board regonized it

now i'm trying to install XP pro

on the 4 gb

when its done i try a 40 gb Maxtor

does any one know how it works with those chips can you use any 32 pin ???
or is mine a lucky strike?


xp install hang's after a while

and the 40gb won't be regonized

update
the crashes during xp install where a memory problem when i use doulbe sided or double lined memory its won't hang anymore (i hope)

There are a patched BIOS supporting large HDD:

i've got the same file same date and time downloaded from the same site

but i will try it any way again


otherwise i test the board with a orginal bios someone brought the same board with other problems so
that bios isn't updated so i test the mobo with that

you will hear from me
thanx any way

i'm back

flashed again with the newly downloaded file but kept the same problem

chanced cmos settings first ide-init# into C and second into D
wow that worked but now it won't boot from CD any more


what is PLEASE BAN ME FOR SWEARING up? the board, the Bios or is it me ?


update
changed secondary ide int back to B

it boots from cd now and it know's the 40gb
but something is very very wrong with this bios shouldn't make a difference which channel you choose? a b c d.....¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿


but it works now i've only solve the mem problems

thanx
