Well the patch from Rainbow seems to have done the trick (thanks heaps for this!!). The bios nolonger hangs, and it correctly detects the 80Gb HD.

Thanks Rainbow,

I have emailed the two bios's I have to the email address that comes up on your posts. If it is not too difficult to patch it, it would be appreciated if you can have a quick look at it.

Many thanks for your advice!!

80GB: 03/26/97-i430HX-2A59FA29C-00

Hi All, I am fairly good with computers, but generally only get technical when I need to, so no expert. I purchased an 80Gb WD hard disk.
