    My 2004 X10 only recognizes 137GB. I recently upgraded to a 250GB WD EIDE
    via cloning from original Hitachi 60GB. It somehow worked great until recently
    and now the HDD is completely messed up, OS gone and everything.
    I guess BIOS only recognized 137GB but XP2 was able to tag it as 250GB,
    but something went wrong and the whole thing got corrupted badly corrupted.
    Well, I still have the old Hitachi and can clone it again, but I don't want to
    to go out and buy a new 120GB. I'd like to keep the 250GB, but realize
    that the only proper way is to upgrade the BIOS.
    I live in the US, I tried their so-called Service Center in Texas and was of no help.
    Any help out there will be much appreciated.

    I see that those are English version Bios on SamsungPC.com...
    I have a Korean version right now, so I somehow
    contacted Samsung Service headquarters in Korea
    and they sent me the Korean version 09YK.
    Installed it in about 2 minutes.
    Thanks for getting me in the right direction.

    Thanks for update.

    But did the upgraded BIOS get you past the 137GB limit?
