Request for Bios update for Gigabyte EP45T-UD3LR (Rev1.0)

[bimotabob]

Hello Brainiacs,

Some years back I brought a new old stock EP45T-UD3LR and a QX9650, The system has done me well I'm very happy with it and would like to stay using the old girl for the time being as other than this issue it does all I need

My issue is the BIOS in RAID mode cannot handle large HDD over 2TB and I want to use the Mother Board to run a mirroring of 2 x 4TB Seagate drives.

I cannot find a BIOS that has the later Raid driver suitable installed in it, Gigabyte long ago gave up supporting
these in the hope it goes to Motherboard heaven and I buy a new one
from them. I'm using F10 the last one they officially released many moons ago.

I do not have the skills to change the ROM module after reading lengthy reports, I think reflashing the BIOS will test me enough
DOS is Alien to me!

If anyone with brains so powerful they need to wear cranium cooling technology on their head while they are working could swap out the ancient "roman era" RAID driver - BIOS posts v8.0.0.1039, with one with suitable powers to understand large GPT drives I would be so grateful!

I'm trying to use Intels Rapid Starage Technology version 11.7.0.1013 as it was the last one they say is officially supporting my ICH10R chipset but if someone helps with the BIOS then i will change to whatever version suggested to work best with the ROM.

I had been running Windows 7 64 Raid with 2 x 3Tb drives for some time with few issues in fact; against the opinions of most beings in the universe but want to try this way which seems also against many opinions although not everyone on here

Cheers

Not looking too good so far with the Bios with old RST driver swapped out for a new one mission.
I guess its asking a lot from strangers to help with a computer issue - plus its fairly unique work as most people would never have heard of the custom BIOS community!
I wish Gigabyte had supported the boards for longer, most people would expect a board to last at least 5 years i would have thought.

Perhaps I should have been a programmer

If anyone can help i could pay something via paypal to show my gratitude for the help, I realise most people wont do enough for nothing in the modern world.

Hi

Here's the mod with the latest version I could find of the Intel AHCI module - v10.

Try at your own risk!
