I just purchesed a Seagate Barracuda 80GB st380011a. I'm trying to copy (clone) my old 30GB HD onto it. The programs I use shut off or freeze when I try to start the process. This is the first time I'v edone this so I was suprised to learn that my BIOS doesn't go above 30GB. Any help on the subject of flashing would be appreciated.

Hey, thanks for the help.

I"m still having some trouble

I downloaded the file and expanded it to a floppy (my BIOS disc)
Then I rebooted with the win98 boot disc
In dos I put in the BIOS disc
typed dir at the A: prompt
The instructions I got was to type in the name of the exe file and then the .bin file.
THere was no .exe file so I just typed in the .bin file and /f
It said bad command

Oh, sorry.
Try to download it again, I have uploaded a new zip file with the flash program and instructions included.

Please use a CLEAN Dos Bootdisk !!!
-> The Win98 Bootdisk loads too much stuff in the background, a little dangerous to update in this environment.

Get the DR-DOS Bootdisk creator from www.bootdisk.com (Driver Free Disk For Bios Flashing)

Files only and no installer, the DR-DOS bootdisk is ways better because it verifies the Floppy is error-free.
