PC HDD not being seen.
« on: February 02, 2004, 01:15:25 PM »
dudes... its pc problem time again.

My PC HDD died - no biggy. I have a new one, nice 120gb Hitachi drive. However. It dosent work. Well it does... but not at 120gb. My bios is too old to see the drive apparently (according to JC ). Any ideas where to obtain a flash from?

Its an ALI board with a AmiBios chip.

Ta

Kev the idiot.

In the BIOS, try changing HD to LBA mode or manually enter drive details rather than use auto.
