Do you need to upgrade your BIOS for hard disk or for ACPI ? If it is hard disk I have the #9KA6-01 BIOS (for Lucky Star 6P2BX?) patched for 128GB.
for ACPI

Sorry, our emails crossed. I do not know how we can fix the ACPI. Suggestions please anyone ? I think Microsoft have guidelines on turning off ACPI in their knowledgebase.

Force an APM install. See the WinXP topic in the Collected Wisdom forum.

I'm gonna try that.
My computer shut downs when it feels for it and i have too restart it. I didn't have this problem when i had Windows 98 and the say that i must upgrade my BIOS.
