Need help with i430TX-2A59IA29C-00 BIOS Upgrade
Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2002 7:40 am
Hello all,
I have an old Pentium 233MHz PC and have just bought a 40Gb Western Digital Hard Drive. I've been led to believe that my current BIOS cannot handle the larger HD and I was wondering if someone could help with where I can get an upgrade.
Specs of current BIOS are below:
Program: Unicore BIOS Wizard Version 1.8
Program: Unicore Chip Detect v0.72 2000.03.10
BIOS Date: 06/30/97
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
BIOS ID: 06/30/97-i430TX-2A59IA29C-00
BIOS Eval: ATC-5000 BIOS VER:1.0 04
Chipset: Intel Triton 430TX rev 1
Super i/o: SMC 67x rev 1 found at port 3F0h
Chipset: Intel Triton 430TX rev 1
OEM Signature: ATC-5000 BIOS VER:1.0 04
I've been in contact with Phoenix about the BIOS but the haven't replied as yet. Following advice from this site I've also sent an email to unicore.com about the upgrade and they also haven't replied.
Basically, I'm pretty stuck and really need to get the new drive installed as soon as I can to get some gear off my work laptop!!
Any help is greatly appreciated
