its not there latest is f9 and it has the same problem mawdryn told that gigabyte support mailed him a beta bios that fixed problem i mailed them too but they say no beta bios for this board is available now
There are more than 1 board GA-6VTE, like VTE-A, maybe there are bioses for these boards. But from the MB manual the ATA 100 is supported, but for Windows XP you need drivers. Anyway, how can you tell there is udma66 and not udma 100? Maybe you have another disks on the same controller that limits the udma mode.
