S+D SD-P6ALXA

BIOS ID string: 11/19/97-i440LX-SMC67x-2A69JSWAC-00
Old BIOS OEM message: P6ALXA Ver:C
New BIOS OEM message: P6ALXA Ver:C patched with BP for 128GB

As usual:
- you flash at your own risk
- read and follow the flash utility instructions. 
- we recommend you clear the CMOS ( take notes of how it is set up first if you want) after flashing - use /cc and /cd switches with the Award flasher.
- if you have already used Disk Manager, EZ-Drive or similar, getting rid of it may be VERY hard. You will probably have to "fdisk /mbr", repartition and reformat the disk and maybe run the manufacturer's utility to reset the disk size.
- remember that FAT32 in Windows 2000 does not allow single partitions over 32GB in size - an operating system which supports NTFS partitions is required.
- remember that for Windows 98 an updated FDISK is required from Microsoft to handle disks over 64GB in size. FORMAT may also have issues displaying the correct size but should work.
