Asus a7v via kt133 promise ultra100 with duron 800 and asus bios rev. 1011,
ultra100 2.0.1 build 43 does not recognize a 160Gb HD fully (sees just 130Gb
of it...). Asus says that the bios rev. 1011 is able to do the job. Anyone
an idea?

I have some ideas but nothing positive. While Asus site says that bios
revision level 1011 adds 48 bit support, it does not specify if that
support includes both controllers. There is a technical note which
implies that you need bios rev 1012.01a (beta) in order to run 7 hard
drives on this board when all of the driver are larger than 137gb. I am
assuming this adds support to both controllers. You may want to try it.
If that does not work, I suggest you take some shots in the dark like
trying an older driver, maybe build 39, using the other controller, or
trying an overlay.

Thanks Tomcas

I will try it first with the 1012.01a, then - when that doesn't work, I take
the other controller.
When I succeed, I let you know!
