40GB: 02/24/1999-SiS-530-2A5IMB09C-00

I would like to use a Seagate 40GB hard drive but I think a BIOS update is in order. The drive has power and is connected correctly but auto hdd detection in the bios hangs/freezes so I think this old computer from 1999 cannot read the 40GB hard drive and so I am here to find the bios update for this computer. The jumper settings are set correctly and the cable is hooked up correctly. Therefore I think it is the BIOS.
(I'm trying to hook the old 4gb drive as primary/master (which is recognized) and have the new 40gb drive as secondary/slave (which is NOT recognized) and copy the old files to the new drive and use the new drive.)
(The current hard drive it uses is a 4gb hdd, just for reference as to what the current bios does recognize).
Program: Unicore BIOS Wizard Version 1.9
Program: Unicore Chip Detect v0.72 2000.03.10
BIOS Date: 02/24/99
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
BIOS ID: 02/24/1999-SiS-530-2A5IMB09C-00
BIOS Eval: SAA0222B
Chipset: SiS 530 rev 2
Superio: NSC 351 rev 2 found at port 2Eh
If you need any more hardware specs I can provide them but I believe the above is sufficient to find the update to this bios.
So I'm looking for the filename/bios name that is the exact update I need (or a patch with exact name for that patch) and the name of the bios updater needed (probably the standard award flash utility.)
Thanks for any help on this,
