Dear Sirs!
Where can I find an upgrade for my
Award plug and play BIOS.

I've visited the computer manufacturers
site (Fujitsu) but they didn't have one.

Tha main purose of upgrade is to make my
computer recognize all 40 GB of my new harddrive
(instead of just 33) and enable an upgrade from
my PII350 to a PIII.

Award v4.51 PG

Motherboard info

02/12/98-i440BX-W977-2A69KM4AC-00

Another string that pops up on the screen during startup is

W6119 FI V1.3 072998


Regards

Fujitsu should have it on their site, but if it is an older machine you may have to do some digging...on this (http://www.fsc-pc.de/support/softwarepool.asp) page. Try Fujitsu first often times manufacturers make special adjustments to the BIOS for their systems.

I have found that you have a Microstar board, looks like an MS-6119, and that your BIOS is Y2K ready (lol)...so you should probably go to the Microstar site and look there for it....here (http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/bios.php?model=MS-6119) and the manual is here (http://www.msi.com.tw/support/manual/manual.php?model=MS-6119). Get the manual first to see if it is actually your board.

Problem solved!
A new BIOS allowed the ssystem to recognize
all 40 GB of the new hd.

Thank You mjc for fast and accurate reply.
