"You will not find the BIOS on the hard drive.
It is stored on a chip directly on the motherboard."

You clearly have not researched this at all and pulled it out of your proverbial a$$!

Gigabyte uses this god forbidden technology to make it damn near impossible to recover from.

The motherboard indeed writes to the hard drive, but not in a user friendly manner, in fact it stores it in the hidden area of the hard drive where it finds it difficult to locate.

So far after 2 months of searching for an answer, I have concluded that gigabyte will receive no more money from me, ever again!

Does not answer your question I know, but I have failed to locate one after 2 months.

Ohh and replacement of bios chip is a no go as some brain dead technician gigabyte decided it be fun to solder it straight into the board!

You will not find the BIOS on the hard drive.
It is stored on a chip directly on the motherboard.

You can access the BIOS by pressing one or more keys during startup BEFORE your operating system loads. Which key(s) you have to press depends on your computer. You have to find that exact information in your manual, but you can look at this site and see if you can find the right one.

What do you want to do? - Why are you looking for the BIOS?

My hd suddenly does work. In BIOS all settings are good. I scaned my harddisk with HDD Regenerator it shows many many sectors breaked. now what to do..........?

you could run the chkdsk utility
click start run type cmd then type chkdsk/r/f which will scan for and attempt to repair any bad sectors and automatically fix any corrupt files on your hard drive another way of running the chkdsk utility
click start control panel administrive tools,computer management ,disk management right click on your drive select properties click tools you should see click check now click start two boxes automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in both boxes then select check now,start should schedule this task when restart
do not do anything while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may damage your computer
then defragment your hard drive
hope this helps

That is because it was designed for Vista not the obsolete XP. There are no hard drive drivers suitable in XP.

Unable to boot from HDD1 position or recreate RAID1.

you need to go into your bios and tell it to boot from the other hard drive make sure you plugged in the right wire to power it it should be the same as one used for the hard drive that works and plug it in tightly.

My computer when i boot a message appered scanning bios image in hard drive..... bios auto-recovering and the computer restart... how to repair this error??

The bios is stored in the CMOS chip on motherboard not on the hard driver, the error message probably means it it scanning to find a hard drive to boot to. You should go into your BIOS and reset to factory defaults and see if this makes a diffrence. you may also have a failed hard drive which may need to be replaced.

Ibm thinkpad T40 Hard Drive change out

After fdisk and format you need to ensure that operative system is installed into yor hard drive. Using ghost you restore the image disk by booting from ghost image CD if you made a bootable image disk. Ensure Bios is set up to boot from CD.
If you used Norton Ghost ensure you captured the image of full bootable original hard disk drive for same computer. If it does not boot after restoring ghosted image, than the image it is probably not complete. If hard disk image is not good, easiest thing to do is using Windows install CD to installl again operative system, then you eventually restore ghost image.

Computer Boot Sequence

I would try to reset the BIOS to factory settings (original) to see if it will allow you to choose the CD-ROM; if this doesn’t work we’ll try another solution.
