Oh, I've well and truly buggered my Xubuntu box. One BIOS upgrade and it's all in Chinese and it doesn't recognise disks bigger than 20gb :-( First BIOS upgrade that's ever gone wrong for me. However, as always, I have a get out clause for this one. No I didn't copy the original BIOS - this would normally be time to say ooer missus. I do have an identical board so I'll copy the BIOS from that, boot from that chip, whip it out once booted and replace with the original now borked BIOS chip and reflash that. It 'should' work... -- ============================================== Kevan Farmer Linux user #373362 Staffordshire
