You need new BIOS. It's QDI ExcellenX V board. The latest BIOS is "01/06/99-i440EX-W977-2A69JQ1JC-00" at http://www.qdi.nl/download/bios/excellenx/E5_v13.zip It supports HDDs upto 32GB.
I'm developing a program that can fix 32GB bug in Award BIOSes. If you want to try a modified BIOS, I can send you the latest one modified - try it at your own risk.
