The BIOS will only read 8 GB HDD. I can noot find anything on this MB it was installed in a CTX case. I have been unable to find a update to flash the BIOS. Please help.

Looks like QDI board. What's displayed at the top of screen during POST? Should be something like "P5I430VX-250DM Explorer II BIOS V2.3 03/05/97"

Are you sure it's not NS306?

i430vx-NS306-2A59GQ1AC-00, build date 12/23/96 is QDI (Quantum) P5I430VX/250.

Flash your BIOS at your own risk.

If it's Explorer I or II non-SpeedEasy PCB 3.0 then there's this BIOS:
10/15/1998-i430VX-NS306-2A59GQ1AC-00
P5I430VX/250-DM Explorer II BIOS V3.5 Oct.15,1998
