A8N-E beta BIOS updates - any info on what changes?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

There have been several postings from people with issues with the Maxtor
drives you refer to. I suggest you do a google / search this news group and
check the issues you have against what you find. I have read that Maxtor has
released a firmware update for the drive.

See: http://www.howtofixcomputers.com/bb/sutra432837.html

Asus usually does not include much if any detail on the fixes in the bios
files. Whatever you do, do not use the Windows utility - especially if the
system is unstable. Check the instructions at the Asus web site and your
manual before proceeding.

Not that it helps you, but I also have lots of trouble with my Maxtor
DiamondMax 10 SATA drives (RAID 1). Hope Asus fixes it soon.
