So, it could be a BIOS problem, but can anyone confirm
on this? If I have to upgrade my BIOS (2002 version, I
guess) I think, it is a very risky thing to do (that's
what manuals say).
What is the BIOS setting for the hdd? AUTO? What other options does
the bios have for the hdd settings? Can you set the C/H/S values
manually?
Has the manufacturer released any BIOS updates for your mobo? If so,
read what problem(s) it is solving and upgrade only if it provides a
fix for your problem. Make sure your system is powered by a "working"
UPS while you flash the new BIOS.
How do I further go about analysing or solving this
problem?
Put this disk into a newer system and see if it exhibits the same
symptoms.
