Anyone else have any problems with this particular motherboard and more current hard drives? I just ordered a Seagate Barracuda IV 40gig ATA100, so I need to make sure it works!
I'm using an Asus P3B-F and tried to install an IBM 60gxp (ATA100) 40 gig drive a few weeks ago. It didn't work. According to Asus tech support, I need to install a beta BIOS (1.07 something or other), but the reason given was "to support 60 gig drives or higher," which of course was not for the reason I needed it, but I'm assuming has something relevant.
<< Please update your motherboard's bios to the latest version which can support IDE HDD larger than 65G.

QUESTION - the zip includes only one file - 1007f.001 - which appears to actually be a WinRAR file, because double-clicking it brings up winrar with the file "cpucode.exe" inside.
So how exactly do I go about installing this BIOS? Usually the BIOS file is an *.awd or something like that. Should I extract the cpucode.exe or do aflash.exe and load this strange bios file, like normal.
