4983 Bios Possibly Screwed Up My Hdd?
« on: May 20, 2004, 03:00:00 AM »
I had an FC version of 4977 on my box with the dashboard and all apps on my F drive.  I "upgraded" to 4983.06 but forgot to change it to boot from the F drive first.  Well it booted to M$ dash and I discovered my error.  So, I throw in my Slayer's Evox installer disc and it loads.  I flash with 4977 FC bios and reboot.  It still went to M$ dash.  So I throw in Slayers again and it shows I have 0 bytes on F.  I FTP evox to the C drive and reboot and it does boot to Evox, but still shows that there is no F drive.  Am I going to have to format F to get it to show up (I hope not because I have 190 GB of data on there)?  Please help!!!

If 4977 is not an LBA48 patched BIOS, there's your problem.

You need a BIOS patched with a "Large F:" LBA48 hack to see the drive.

:ph34r:  Well, a big DUH to me!  I flashed with 4979 FC and it worked great!  Thank you!  I can't believe I missed that.  Thanks again!
