I need an update for an older Award Bios. I'm using an ASUS P5A ACPI Bios revision 1007.A and need to upgrade it so it will detect a new Maxtor 40 GB hard drive. Any advice on where I can get an upgrade?

thanks,

rob,

Just went to look at ASUS site and the 1007A seems to be the latest (or last ) for that board.

SOOOOOOOOOOO,,,,

GO to Maxtor's site and grab MaxBlast Plus drive install utility and any other info or manuals, spec sheets, etc.
Maxblast can put on a bios overlay to bypass the bios limitation issue.
IT's also the nicest way to partition, format, and set up your new drive.
