Ok I'll see if linux likes the disk. before the bios upgrade the machine wouldn't see it at all when I selected ide hdd autodetection in the bios. I even calculated the chs values for the disk and tried entering them manually but the machine wouldn't like that either. I think the problem may be that the updated bios I have is a hacked version since J-bond never released a fix for the 32gb bug and they don't even seem to be in business anymore. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Myrow" <amyrow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 6:03 PM Subject: Re: ot: bios issue > I'd first try that jumper that resets the BIOS.
