32GB+: Chaintech 6VTA2

[hiho]

Is there somebody who can help me ?

How is it possible to induce my system to work with harddrives bigger than 32 GB ?

My system configuration :
Main Board Chaintech 6VTA2
Chipset Via 693/596
Award Bios v4.51PG 07/07/1999

According to our utility, the following message appears, which I seriously doubt is true:
"BIOS already supports HDDs over 32GB & 64GB - Nothing to do!"

@ajzchips: A candidate for the alternate utility ?
