XECUTER2 BIOS 4979 *REPACK*
>> Team Xecuter released a repack version of their new 4979 bios:
[QUOTE]
A group of individuals using a current setup of a LBA48 bios with a large F partition have been posting that all the data on their F data dissapeared when updating to the 4979.06
We totally had no idea why as we've tested this on many many setups and works perfectly every time.
Then it hit us - one very drunken member of Xecuter packed the release of 4979.06 incorrectly. It's actually 4979.67 - DOH !
So apologies to those who've been scratching their heads over the last 24 hours heh. Don't worry using this bios wont effect your drive - simply use the correct 4979.06 in this re-packed release.

Here is why the F data dissapeared:
This ONLY affects users with these setups: If you had a bios with LBA48 patches before and had one BIG F: drive (partition 6 only) and the drive was above 137 gig
If you then use 4979.06 you would get an F: and a G: - this would cut your F: to 137 gig and therefore make your directories table invalid bringing you an empty F: drive that is smaller than before and some space behind that could be a G: drive

Moral to this story - less alcohol when coding and packing ;)
