160GB HDD problems...

Postby Bakerton » Tue May 04, 2004 6:42 pm

...okay got a Western Digital 160 GB HDD but my bios "loses" it when WinXP installer reboots and when I boot up in general...I have Red Hat 9.0 on it atm but I have to boot from floppy to get into Linux due to the Bios...I flashed the Bios already and the newest one was a year old...the MoBo is an Asus A7S333 should I say fuck it and get a new board or do you think the problem is else where?

And, what does the Search and Rescue of the Danish Army entail? Looking for your nations pride and dignity? Cause I don't think I could find that either, cause even Canada has more of both than Denmark.

did not get any software with it from new egg :huh:

I am thinking it is a problem with the mobo simply because it runs fine when I boot to it from floppy...in fact I am on Red Hat on it now :P

My board is not really supported by Asus anymore as the last Bios was a year ago so I am thinking I may need to upgrade it since all the solutions offered by others have been flash the bios lol...I did try using Fdisk for 64+GB drives and even it cringes in terror at the site of this drive...
