Foxconn C51Gu01 Motherboard Update The Bios

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding during these challenging times.

After a couple hours of work last night, I was able to modify the stock Gateway BIOS, and successfully enabled the RAID functionality.

I have read so many of these exact same problems on many different sites concerning the Gateway PCs.

Koodoos I am getting the same particular gateway desktop (GT5098e) and from all of the discussion boards I have seen, I want to follow your advice.

I was also wondering if Gateways bios in general are constrictive and malproductive.

My laptop gives me a lot of trouble (similar to what I have seen others online regard as bios issues).

Could this same advice also help my laptop as well Also, I am trying to fix an old computer of mine (desktop- Sis Integrated Systems, P6STMT MOB), I am having huge problems reinstalling windows.

It finally turned on and recognized my HDs and began formatting installing windows until we had a major power surge from a storm right in the middle of installing Windows.

Sometimes it would install until my first reboot then have a critical error, or it would not recognize my hard drives at all, or install until I put in my disk for mainboard drivers and would mess up.

Sometimes it would turn on and then do nothing after the first screen, even when I set it not to stop on errors.

It did this in both windows 2000 and in XP, but it crashed earlier in Windows XP.

My Western Digital Floppy install disk for my hard drive, suggested once that my bios did not support XP.

I want to install XP and with all the problems I am having, I really think I need to update the bios.

My problem is that now it is just not booting windows at all.

Last Friday, after work, I went home and attempted to mod the Gateway BIOS to enable RAID functionality on the motherboard.

They actually had them ready for FedEx to pickup on Sunday afternoon.

They worked like a charm, but they were just the stock Gateway BIOS.

Now, obviously, I am not going to just let this whole thing go.

While I was waiting for the BIOS chips, I thought I would ask Gateway if there were BIOS, even experimental ones, that would enable the RAID controller.

Their first response was Your motherboard does not have RAID capabilities.

When I informed them that with the Foxconn BIOS I was able to get the RAID controller installed in Windows, their response was Oh, since you already have the RAID controller enabled.

Still not answering my question about the availability if Gateway released BIOS with RAID enabled.

So, after several e-mails back and forth, it was apparent to me that I was going in circles with Gateway, and I just resigned to them not helping in this matter.
