8.4GB barrier on a QDI P5I430VX-250DM Explorer II

The Specs:

The QDI website: www.qdigrp.com only mentions Y2K and others flashes. Is there a third party or similiar i430VX burn I can try? I am presently using a Fujitsu 10.2GB with diskgo (DDO) but with a dual boot with linux it will create problems. Unless there is Linux fix for this. Any feedback/help would be greatly appreciated. CAN I FLASH THIS BIOS TO USE A LARGER THAN 8.4GB drive?

Thanks in Advance.
