Just bought a 4o GB harddisk before I found out that my motherboard would have problems recognizing it.
Following the information of the Bios detect:

Program: eSupport.com BIOS Detect v1.2 July 21, 2003

According to the information on the motherboard and confirmed by the manual my board is a PB50-BX. The manual says it is a rev AB+, the motherboard reads rev A only.

Found the Itox an DFI sites not helpful and did not find anything that could be of help.

Would a update also update the USB version?

I searched for 1.5 minutes and found this:
http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/PB61BX0530.ZIP

05/30/2000-i440BX-FD-2A69KD4FC-00

which supports harddisks up to 128GB

USB version is hardware dependant, so no. You need a new motherboard or an add-in USB2.0 card.

You must have a better search engine :D and most probably a better internet connection.
I have tried two nights to get the site and after finaly being ther I found really nothing what could help.

Hartelijk bedankt for the fast repply.

True. Most likely you don't have a 1Mbit connection there...
