    Hello, I have bought and fitted a replacement HD for my toughbook (CF-27EJ6GCZZ) and although it is supposedly of 60GB capacity I can only access 20GB.

    My current BIOS version is Phoenix Technologies V2.02L19B. I think there is a V2.10 version (seen it referenced on other posts on here) but I cannot find it available for download anywhere on the 'sticky' post giving the download sites!

    Any help would be very much appreciated! :)

    Suzy

    Welcome to the site, I think that the bios update you are looking for is on the Canadian site. I saw it when I was looking for a sound driver. When you get to the site don't check any search parameters and just type in CF27 in the search box. It will show all the downloads for a CF27 just scroll down to locate the update.

    Thanks Klonsdale for your help; I did look at the Canadian site but could only find the NeoMagic video driver and the USB driver. I have seen the other BIOS updates but I don't know if the 'EJ' model is significantly different. I'd take a chance normally but as this is pretty critical, I won't!

    I'm running Windows 2000, Tomcat.

    Welcome to the forum. You are looking for: 27m2bl19.exe. Let me take a look and see if I have it.
    CAP
    EDIT: I do have it which means its up on Rob's Networks under MK2 drivers. Check the sticky again.
