Hello
I'm new here.
I've seen two other posts from people who seem to have the same board as mine:
My board..
BIOS Date: 05/27/99
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
BIOS ID: 05/27/99-i440BX-W977TF-2A69KQ19C
OEM Sign-On: P6I440BX/B1S BIOS V1.6SLR May 27,1999
Chipset: Intel 440BX/ZX rev 3
Superio: Winbond 977EF rev 4 found at port 3F0h
OS: Win98
CPU: Pentium® II (0.25 µm) 400 MHz
BIOS ROM In Socket: Unknown
BIOS ROM Size: Unknown
Memory Installed: 255 MB
Memory Maximum: Unknown
ACPI Revision: Unknown

But I can't make out if its a QDI Brillian or Legend QDI.
Legend QDI is printed on the board, but I want to be sure that I use the correct BIOS update, because I installed a 30Gb HDD, but win 98SE only sees 7.85Gb.
Would you be able to point me in the right direction for the correct bios?
Many thanks as I've never flashed a BIOS before.

Legend QDI = QDI (manufacturer)
BrillianX is the name of your motherboard series
Bios version identifier shows P6I440BX/B1S and this shuld be the BrillianX IS motherboard.

Please crosscheck with marking on your board, should be printed onto your board in small letters in one of the corners (usualy above the last ISA slot)

Yes, it's a BrillianX IS so my new link is correct.
