Resolved Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe Motherboard Won't Detect 1Tb Drive {updated BIOS}
I've been using my trusty Asus A7N8XE Deluxe for many years. It has a Silicon Image 3112A SataRAID chipset onboard to support RAID 0 / 1 for Sata drives. However, the firmware is too old and does not support newer Sata drives larger than 1 TB.The solution is to get the latest SI 3112A firmware, merge it with the latest A7N8XE firmware and flash the motherboard BIOS.
Files needed:
C18E1013.zip (A7N8X-E Deluxe Latest BIOS, from Asus)
AWDFLASH (Also from Asus)
Silicon Image SATARAID BIOS (from Silicon Image)
CBROM 2.15
