Hi folks,
I found this project looking for ways to add 48bit LBA support to an x86 laptop. The laptop was manufactured ~2005 give or take to the best I can tell. Anyway, it will not recognize more than 137GB of a hard drive (tested with a brand new 250GB WD drive). The company that produced the laptop says they will not provide anymore bios updates for it and they also said they will not release any information or specifications regarding the motherboard so that leaves me with very few options for attempting to address this problem. The bios installed on it now is Phoenix 4.0 release 6 and it has no serial numbers or anything that I've been able to find to help identify the manufacturer of the motherboard, in fact, I'm starting to think the board was built by the company who sold the laptop. Based on my research, the laptop comes from a company called clevo who resells to companies that rebrand the computers. With that said, I'm wondering if the OpenBIOS project can help me to address the problem I've described.
Thanks for any information, J.P.
