Award BIOS does just recognize 136 GB capacity of the 250 GB hd - could you provide any suggestions how to resolve - thx. Thomas

MSI mainboard, please provide the full OEM signon string (see instructions) .

It may be possible this string looks like this :
W6399M7 V1.14 012903 10:30:00 MEDIONPC.

This would then relate to a OEM MSI mainboard for Medion - www.medion.com

Additional info

Hi Deniss,

the complete string is 6513M7 V1.59 01290310:19:00 MEDIONPC.
I already downloaded the BIOS update from the Medion hompeage, it did not help. Even worse: the computer does not start any longer, it turns into an endless loop at ther starting sequence. When I enter the BIOS setup now, it even does not recognize the new hd any longer (is configured as slave).

Any idea appreciated.

Cheers, Thomas

Do you have the Bios-ID and OEM message of your original Bios ?

Tried to Clear CMOS ?

If this string is your original BIOS, tell me which file are you downloaded to update it, because there are no updates.
You has the latest one.

Dear Kuriaki:
this is the string after downloading: 6513M7 V1.59 01290310:19:00 MEDIONPC, it is the upgraded bios message.
Please visit km 52 for me in the national park south of cancun - great spot.

Dear Denis:
Unfortunately I do not have the Bios-ID and OEM message of the original Bios

Do you think disconnecting the new hd and restart would help?

Cheers

Thomas

Maybe you want to downgrade to a prior version:
