Have searched high and low about this, but have only found misleading info so far. Need to upgrade my bios due to buying a new 80gb hd which my current bios won't recognise... 
Code in bottom-left when computer is turned on:
09/09/1998-i440BX-W977TF-2A69KC39C-00
Have extablished it's made by chaintech, but their websites seem hopeless. Please help if you can, thanks in advance :)

| I've known most Chaintech boards to have a little sticker with the model number on them.

Post subject: Using DDo instead Updating BIOS |

| It looks you have same chipsets as my mobo. I just installed a 60GB HD without upgrading BIOS. Go to IBM Website, from their Service & Download site download the utility program called Disk Manager 2000. The utility will using Dynamic Drive Overlay(DDO) to help old system to recognize disk's full capacity.
