    i've got a d900t with the original bios on it and i just bought two 250gb hard drives for it. will this thing need a bios upgrade to see the hard drives properly? if so where would i get the new bios from, clevo's site doesn't seem to let you download the bios...any help would be appreciated

    Assuming that you are using SATA drives...

    The D900T will see the HDDs fine... if you set the HDDs to SATA-I (150MB/s) mode.
