How big is your HDD ?
This Bios is intended to support at least up to 64GB
P.S. : Board should be a 6BTA3 - please confirm via looking at your mainboard -> small white sticker on Bios flashrom

HDD is only 40Gb. This is why I cannot understand the non recognition.

The other thing to say is that using the Western Digital software (can't remember what it is called) I have managed to format and copy to the hard drive within Windows - I just cannot get the HDD (master) or the DVD-RW (slave) to get recognised.

Not recognizes at all or only as 32GB ?
Please try the HDD without a CD/DVD - pay attention to a correct Master/Slave/Single_HDD jumper !

I have sorted out the problem - removed all jumpers and the whole thing now works. Thanks to everyone for your help.
