120GB HDD-Detection

Hi all,
my Toshiba Equium 3000m (I think its a GVC Board) doesn't recorgnize my new Samsung 120GB HDD. I flashed my BIOS with the data provided on the Toshiba Page, but even after that he doesn't find it.(except i put the jumper to the 32GB Limit).

It's an AWARD BIOS v4.41PG ; 10/30/1998-i440ex-w83977-2a69jg5hc-00

I found a Bios bin on http://wims.rainbow-software.org/nicks/ ... X-D%29.zip
because i thought this is the same board, but it did not work at all!
If someone could help me, it would be great!

This is my first patched BIOS (untested) to support large HDD:
