I need a BIOS patch that can let me use more than 32 gigabytes. My BIOS specifications are:
BIOS type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG.
BIOS date: 11/21/97
BIOS ID: 11/21/97-ALi-154x-2A5KIB09C-00
BIOS Sign-On: ATC1121D
Chipset: ALi M1531 rev 179
Thank you.

I need a Bios patch for a 1997 Bios. Unless I could use the 1998 bios patch.

You can.

If I use the 1998 bios patch will it affect my system and make it permanently unbootable?

No.
But every BIOS update is risky.

What KURIAKI says is true (any flash can go wrong for any number of reasons), but I have used this particular patched BIOS in my machine, and it works just fine.
Just remember to disable UDMA support in the BIOS (it doesn't work).

BIOS date: 03/01/2001

Incomplete BIOS ID.
We need the OEM Sign-On too to identify your exact Lucky-Star model.
Can be:
Lucky-Star 6B810ECD (2MB)
Lucky-Star 6B810ECD (4MB)
Lucky-Star 6P2810 (2MB)
Lucky-Star 6P2810 (4MB)
But I think you don't need a BIOS patch:
Searching for Main Block...Found at 0
Searching for end of last block...Found at 140571
Decompressing Main Block...Decompressed 68629 bytes into 131072 bytes

BIOS OEM string: 6B810ECD(2M)-B2

=> BIOS already supports HDDs over 32GB!

Searching for size calculation routine...is already OK
Searching for SETUP size calculation routine...is already OK (Award v6.0)
BIOS already supports HDDs over 32GB & 64GB - Nothing to do!

When i start up my computer, it goes through the normal boot seeing the harddrive, cd-rom drives. But at a certain point, it says "cmos error-load bios defaults" (or something like that). I loaded the bios defaults and the same error comes up every time. What do I do???

CMOS error usually points to an empty backup battery. replace and try again.
