Seems to be an Abit BH6 but without the Bios version identifier code not possible to say Rev 1.06 or Rev 1.1x
Please post FULL Bios-ID string !
2A69KA1EC-??

Edit : Biosdate look like BH6 Rev 1.0x with HN Bios so your full-ID should be 2A69KA1EC-HN

Upgrade the the latest Bios(SS) listed there and your 40GB should work
