Hi all,

I have HP Brio BA600 with Award bios.
I am trying to put on - 80G of hard disk , but the computer can't see the big disk.
I saw in the site that you give the upgrade for this problem, but i still have some questions:

1. On which Bios can i use this upgrade? Now i have the HW.27.10(QHW.10.01). can i make the update on this one?

2. the bios ID string must to be the same? (in the site it is 10/19/1999-i440BX-SMC602-6A69KM3JC-00) does it need to be match??.

3. in the file there is only a .bin file. with what bile can i open it? i need any special .exe?

thanks. :roll:
