A-WIN AW-P3BX

I've been trying to find an update for the bios on an old motherboard i've been trying to get working. I am trying to get it working with a 120 GB hard drive. In normal mode the hard drive isnt recognised at all, but with the jumpers set to 32GB mode the hard drive is recognised. Hopefully a bios upgrade will allow the full 120GB to be used.
I know the motherboard from a sticker on the actual board and the description here matches.
The A-win website (http://www.a-win.com.tw) doesn't mention motherboards anywhere so I can only assume they no longer support them.
This is all i've been able to glean from the actual pc.
Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
A-WIN AW-P2BX BIOS Revision 2.2 (2WL) .E
Extention v1.0A
04/16/1999-i440BX-W977TF-2A69KX4DC-00
Can anyone shed some light onto where I could find a BIOS update? Would it be possible to upgrade with a bios from another manufacturer?
Sorry, I couldnt run the Unicore Bios Agent as i'm running Linux
Thanks
EDIT: Sorry didn't see the self booting version -
