Of course you can not find a modern BIOS for your MoBo -- your MoBo is 4 years 7 months old; it is obsolete; it is an antique. Put the MoBo in a museum. Steve

Guest RJK Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Re: Help with bios update and ... ? If you want to split hairs, boards really are obsolete the instant they're released, i.e. the manufacturers are already / often already have the next one ready for release. same with cpus and all th rest of it. It remains the case that it's pointless updating the bios unless there's a specific fix in it that the user needs, and it's NOT uncommon for the owner of an older machine, that's still perfectly serviceable, to require a larger capacity hard-disk whose size is not supported in the current bios but, IS supported in bios's subsequent to the one on the board at the time it was supplied. .....I've now forgotten why this hair was being split ! regards, Richard "Og" <Og@msn.com> wrote in message news:%23wPh5u86HHA.2208@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > > "RJK" <notatospam@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:uZCZTA86HHA.1188@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> VERY often, the "last" bios, posted by a maunfacturer could contain >> support larger hard-disks, than the sometimes "much" earlier bios that >> was on the board when it was shipped ! >> >> regards, Richard > > VERY often, when the maunfacturer no longer lists the board, much less > provides the > " "last" bios ", the board is it is obsolete. > Steve > >> >> >> "Og" <Og@msn.com> wrote in message >> news:uuhZBV76HHA.1148@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >>> "--Ivan--" <Ivan@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >>> news:2F685103-8A54-48B7-A060-CF733A3E211E@microsoft.com... >>>> MOtherboard - Jetway >>>> Model - VT8366-8233 >>>> Bios ID: 01-02-2003 >>>> System Chipset- VIA KT266/A, KT333 chipset >>>> >>>> Hi i asked help on here and i was told i must update my bios so my >>>> computer >>>> can read my new 320gig HDD currently only reads 131gig, >>>> I cant find the driver anywhere not even the Jetway homepage can anyone >>>> please help me fix this problem >>>> >>>> thank you very much i appreciate all your kindness >>> >>> BIOS = Basic Input / Output System >>> e.g. BIOS is *not* a "driver". >>> Of course you can not find a modern BIOS for your MoBo -- >>> your MoBo is 4 years 7 months old; it is obsolete; it is an antique. >>> Put the MoBo in a museum. >>> Steve >>> >> >> > >
