I have an ABIT NF7-S Rev.2 board, and need to flash the BIOS because of some problems I've been having with the SATA. Is there any BIOS version in particular that is causing problems for people, or one that works particularly well?

Thanks

I don't have a serial ATA hard drive in my PC, but I recently flashed my NF7-S v2.0 BIOS with the Tic-Tac modded BIOS (D22_Alpha1_SATA 4247) to see what advantages it offers but I don't know if it will resolve your SATA problems since I do not currently own a serial ATA drive.

I don't think ABIT has a newer BIOS update available on their webpage but there is a PR3ACH3R D18 BIOS out there also for the NF7-S.

Goodluck.

ABIT is up to v.21(go to http://www.abit-usa.com/downloads/bios/bios_revision.php?categories=1&model=124), I am still running v.18 with no problems. There is an update to the Silicon Image SATA BIOS at th Microsoft 'Windows Update' site, so that may help. I am running 2 WD 120GB Spec. Ed. as SATA RAID 0, using parallel/serial adapters, and have never had a problem. Also, post on the ABIT Forum. I got a lot of good help there when I first got my NF7-S 2.0(I blew out my BIOS chip while flashing, so BE CAREFUL!). If a later BIOS rev will fix existing problems, then flash. Otherwise, leave well enough alone. IMHO YMMV

You should flash to the newest BIOS. Tictac's modded one is good too, it fixed the 10x, 10.5x multi problem. I always use Abit's flashmenu to flash, have done it more than 10 times without a problem. Just download it from Abit's website and read and follow the instructions. Good luck.
