I need help! I have a PIII 500 system. Just got an 80GB western digital and the board doesnt support the large drive.

The bios string is:
09/15/1999-693A-596B-W97-2A6LGG5AC-00

It's a VIA Apollo Pro Plus (692/596) and the Board is GVC?

Other information os Award V4.51 and BIOS v 1.02 #21051

I cannot find anything. Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Adam

It's BCM GT693VA board. The latest BIOS is "12/07/1999-693A-596B-W97-2A6LGG5AC-00" at http://www.bcmcom.com/tech/GT693VA/bios/gt693va-104.zip
This BIOS supports HDDs up to 128GB.

It is asking for a password to extract. Any help?

There's no password there. Download it again.
