Award Bios 4.51PG won't recognize 80 Gig HDD
Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2005 9:37 pm
I pulled a motherboard with a PII processor out of an old HP Pavilion Desktop to put together my sister's computer. It had a 10 gig hard drive and then she bought a DVD Burner. The DVD-R installed fine but the 10 gig hard drive didn't have enough room to store the DVD files during the copying process. So I bought her an 80 gig Western Digital Hard Drive, but her Bios won't recognize it. I'm pretty sure it needs to be updated, but i have NO IDEA how to do that. I need someone to tell me how to step by step please, I don't even know how to get the files i need to update the Bios, let alone how to update it once i get them. It says:
