An AMI BIOS of that date should support HDD to 128GB. Have you checked that the 32GB limit jumper is removed from the HDD ?

If it hangs during POST, enter HDD parameters manually.
YET NOT SOLVED

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE IN REPLY OF MY MASSAGE. I HAVE CONNECTED A 40GB HDD BUT MY BIOS CAN NOT AUTO DETECT THE HDD AND IT IS HANGED. KINDLY ADVICE ME TO UPGRADE MY BIOS.
MY BIOS CAN NOT SUPPORT BEYOND 20GB HDD. PLEASE ALSO HELP ME TO FIND OUT THE 32GB LIMIT JUMPER.
THANKS

If it is hanging, it probably does not have the 32GB limit jumper installed. Information about jumpers should be available from the HDD manufacturer's website.
Have you tried:
1. setting HDD type and translation mode to AUTO/AUTO, or AUTO/LBA
2. entering Cylinders/heads/sectors manually ?
before attaching the drive ?

THE HDD SETTING (type and translation mode) IS AUTO/AUTO BUT I AM IN THE SAME PLACE.

1. Have you tried AUTO/LBA ?
2. Have you tried Rainbow's advice and entered User parameters with translation type LBA ?
3. Have you checked the manufacturer's information for placing a 32GiB limit jumper and tried that ?
