 1] Luis Collan. say:"Hello: Bios successfull Updated . The BIOS don't recognize 30 GB but Windows do it and system is working fine.
It looks so obvious is a BIOS version problem because  Disk Wizard detected
hard disk and CD rom  perfectly and identifies them.
I followed  Disk wizard  instructions and DDO is now installed and working.
Windows sees 30 GB hard disk .

<after some months>

After some months checking, the computer is very unstable using DDO (Seagate tools utilitie to allow the computer to manage 30 GB HD).
It looks working fine but sudently a POST fails appear: (Error 80) Hard disk fail, and I need to format and reinstal system again and again.
I have tested your beta bios....
- Award flasher and MrBios-29c010 flasher do not works at all
After some trials I decide to use UNIFLASH flasher. and....Success!! It works.
- It has been necesary to use the -FORCE command to force the flash ROM chip identification
- Now the mobo sees the CD rom during post".
