Hi Slugs,
The BIOS is all OK now and reading the larger HDD.
The docs on the BIOS motherboard site said that the 2Mb BIOS upgrade accepts a
larger HDD.
The docs did not mention in the 1Mb upgrade that is fixes the large HDD problem.
I only had a 1Mb BIOS not the 2Mb BIOS.
So I flashed it anyway.
Hi slugs,
I decided to upgrade my hard disk only to find that the BIOS does not
like a 40Gb hard disk!
it's a VIA chipset with an Award modular BIOS.
Anyone know of anywhere in Sydney that I can get an upgrade. I have a
1Mb BIOS chip and it needs upgrading to a 2Mb chip to allow for the
flash

2gb only anyway. Linux on the rest works fine. Linux dosen't care about
broken bios'es! Heck it dosen't even use it!
Just don't forget

I wish i remember the name, but i'm sure someone else on the list could point
you in the right direction, What about the linux project where you don't use
bios and flash the linux kernel directly into the flash instead.
