Hi!

I have a DX 4 100 with a WD 2.5gb hard disk formated in 2gb.

 Does anyone know if the BIOS upgrade sv2g0402.zip allows
to use the full space of the drive.

 I am actually with a 0305 BIOS.

Thanks for the information.

Bye.

Hi!

 I must clarify my problem, because many don't understand it. (My fault)

 I have the BIOS SGV2 0305 on my DX 4 100. And the problem is that I can't
use my WD 2.5gb drive space.

 When I use auto detect, the BIOS reports a drive of 425Mb and when I set
it manually by translating myself, I found some correct replies in size by
the BIOS. But when I try to do my partitions the last one destroys the
begining of the drive (well the MBR and so on) when I format it.

 So in fact my BIOS cannot get over the 2gb limit. That's why I limited
my drive in the BIOS to 2gb and did my partitions.

 The sad thing about Asus (at least on the SG2V in which I'm interested)
is when you get (if you get) a Read Me file they never tell if the BIOS
limitations for a drive are changed. I assume they're not.

Bye.

following is divided for PC-DOS5.0 followers vs real operatingsystems
with LBA on:
opsyses like Win95 and other MSdoses can Fdisk an 2G partition and
an 400+Meg partition.

If You use one of the real operatingsystems
turn LBA Off (use normal or large translation)
boot from  bootable Floppy with Opsys installation Tape/CD/server
available and install the thing using Ext2FS or HPFS or NTFS
depending on the operating system

P.S. all info now on the disk will naturally be wiped off in this
process
