Can we have update for 02/12/1999-i440bx-ALI513 type mother board to install 40 GB hard disk

Is the complete string 02/12/1999-i440BX-ALI513-2A69KPNDC-00 ? If so this should be Procomp, see http://www.procomp.com.tw/driver/ for download site.

The string does not say what model; there should be a message in the top left of the screen as it boots, under the Award logo, to say which model.

Edit: looks like B687, latest bios at ftp://61.220.120.253/download/b687v12.zip

Our bios string is 02/12/1999-i440BX-ALI513-2A69KPNDC-00 and version is B687 Bios Ver 1.2.
as pur your instractions we download the drivers from http://www.procomp.com.tw/driver/ and download the driver file b684v13.zip after run the programe the system hangs and thare is no display and long cont beebs. now our system is almost useless.

How can we get old posision and any way to update the bios.
Pls give some solution.
Thanks

Now.... why on earth did you use the B684 update when you were told you have a B687???

Oh, dear.

Now it is time to read the "Wim's BIOS FAQ" topics about techniques for recovering dead motherboards. If your board tries to read the floppy disk, it may be possible to use the Awdflash command in autoexec.bat (see the FAQ). If not, you will need to "hot swap" your flash chip into another board and probably use Uniflash to flash it (see the FAQ).

Either way, you need to download the correct BIOS for B687 !
