I currently have as my secondary computer a system with an asus p2l97 board that runs the i440lx chipset, with an award bios.

also in my posession is a 40gb western digital drive. my computer freezes when trying to detect said drive.

any help? or possibly a patched bios? i checked on the site and the board isnt even listed.

thanks in advance.

EDIT: http://www.baber.com/baber/411/asusp2l97.htm <-- this site has more info on this board than i do currently, so if you need anything, try there maybe.

EDIT AGAIN: just thought to check the number on the bios, so here it is

02/05/98-i440lx-(p2l97)-00

Update to the latest Bios Asus offers. AFAIK this is a Beta-Bios supporting HDD sizes up to 128GB
