    Good luck getting the board running.

    Hi to all!

    Now my board is running.

    The first mistake a made: i trusted in the description from the seller. But my board was not hdama G. It is hdama I, so with help of this site it find out the right one.

    I also find the right bios here and flashed it. And now it works great.

    I am so happy now.

    Thanks again.

    All - I updated the big zip in the first post to add the HDAMA-revI BIOS v1.26 that was posted recently. If anyone tests it out, please let us know how it works for you.

    Can you find out exactly which HDAMA board you have?

    In terms of which BIOS to try, there are essentially two variants.
    HDAMA-revG (BIOS is backwards compatible with at least the revD). 2.xx versions
    HDAMA-revI (BIOS is not compatible with any other series). 1.1x - 1.2x versions

    1. Go to bootdisk.com and create the driver-free bootdisk.
    2. Copy any one of the BIOS ROM files and its associated BATCH script to the floppy disk.
    3. Copy the phlash16.exe to the floppy disk.

    Please be more specific and list the file names and the exact error message.

    Also if you want to try the IDE CD/DVD boot method again, then you can try 2 things:
    1. Disconnect your hard drives so it tries to boot the next device.
    2. Go into your BIOS and set the IDE CD/DVD drive as the first boot device.
