Crash Override is an unknown quantity at this point

guys guys guys please read before you post come on

not he wants an easy way to work with bios

Easy Bios is a program

well Neon your best bet would be to check maxtor and WD's site

well when I manually enter the setting in the bios it says 33 gm even though it's clearly a forty but when I save and exit it goes back to calling it 2 gb... It had a 10gb in it before and I am trying to put a 40 gb in it...

As for the utillity I cant find it int's intergaterd in maxtor and wd software but they wond let you load it on a drive that not thiers.....

I can find that the lates bios is 2001 / dowloads are gone and the lasted found is 4/1999 posted above I am hopeing to find the newer bios
