UDMA100 with P2B M/B

Hi,
I've just bought a Seagate 7200.7 UDMA100 hard drive.
But it just hangs on BIOS.
My motherboard is an ASUS P2B with Pentium II 400.
Can UDMA100 work with a UDMA33 motherboard?
What's the problem?

Thanks.

No, but hard drives also support older, slower modes, so they'd run with
UDMA33.

What's the problem?

The capacity. Flash the last BIOS (1014 beta 3) and it should work. An
additional UDMA100/133 IDE controller would also help (though in this
case I'd only buy one if the performance were not sufficient otherwise).

Did you set the jumper to master? Don't! Try CS or removing the jumper.

Thanks. It works.
I thought I had the latest BIOS 1012.

No effect but thanks for replying

How many GB's is the harddrive? It may be bigger than the motherboard's
BIOS can support.

I'm trying to fit a 80 Gig HD on a P2B and i'm having problem too, can
only put it as slave and the Motherboard only see 32 Gig? What is the
highest size that is supported by that MB? I didn't saw it in the
manual...

With latest (beta) bios, 128GB is supported. If it's limited to 32GB,
that might indicate you have set a size limitation jumper some hds have.

I've had 120 gig drives in P2B's. You need to get the latest bios,
which I think is 1014 beta 3, and it's available on the asus germany FTP
site.

It won't do ATA/100, if that is a requirement you need to add a PCI
controller. However, I've never really found this worth doing.
