Unfortunatly, I don't think that is the case (and I've checked it 
before posting).

For reference this is what my AWARD BIOS reads:
Capacity 120GB
Access Mode       Auto      CHS       LBA    Large
Cylinder.........57460.....57460....14593.....3830
Head................16........16......255......240
Precomp..............0.........0........0........0
Landing Zone.....57459.....57459.....57459...57459
Sector.............255.......255........63.....255

If I'm trying CHS or Large in BIOS It will not boot at all, but 
promting me to choose the boot partition with no luck (if I try XP it 
hangs or complain about missing NT..DLL)


I would really apreciate any other sugestion.
