News of My hard drive isn't recognized

I have instsalled an 80GB HDD in this mobo

However, the mobo only detects 65GB
The HDD is partitioned into 4 as follows;
Boot - 0.7 GB
OS - 20.0 GB
Win2Kdata - 57.0 GB
W2KSwap - 1.1 GB

I understand this may be due to a limitation in the BIOS
re - 48 bit LBA. The current installed version is 2K0930s

Is there a patch available or instructions?

Please advise

Any help appreciated

Is it possible to update the BIOS to support 4kb/sector hard disks? Sony does not have any BIOS updates available.

Thanks.

After reading dozens of excellent reviews, I've decided to buy the Samsung HDD (Spinpoint series), F1, Sata II, 1TB, HD103UJ. But, after a hundred of efforts, I've realised that this disk, CAN NOT be configured, by any means, from my Acorp 7KM400QP (KM400A VIA VT8237) motherboard. Can anyone please help? As you may know, the Acorp company does not exist any more. The latest available BIOS file on the net ...
