Anyone who claims knowledge and tells you to flash your BIOS when you change HDD's is either NOT knowledgeable,, or an out and out fraud. I've never been to ARS, and i see there is no reason FOR me to go. I would much rather listen to a moderator named Al, or Grogan, or whatever than Agent Monkey??? Sounds more like a chat room than a help forum.

Gotta agree with Shelly in that it seems like so many lately are jumping on the Flash the BIOS to fix things bandwagon. That is generally a last resort, not the first thing to try. I can't say i've ever seen flashing a BIOS cure anything that wasn't specificly listed as an update in the what's new with this BIOS FAQ.
