-Let the BIOS see the drive as a smaller drive -Upgrade the BIOS -Replace the motherboard -Use software that interfaces between the older Bios and the newer drive -Use an ATA controller card to provide the ATA connector and Firmware to substitute for motherboard BIOS.

Why Intel Pentium 3 doesnt support 80gb hard disk?
Depending on your computer's BIOS, it might support or not a 7200RPM hard disk drive. Usually a Pentium 3 should support 7200RPM hard disks. I personally own a 800MHz Pentium 3 with a 160GB ATA hard drive and it worked without updating the BIOS(last updated in February 2000). So, a Pentium 3 should support newer hard drives but make sure your BIOS is at least from 1999 or 2000 since I don't think a 1995 or 1996 BIOS can handle a 7200RPM hard drive.
Which hardware device on a motherboard drive can be updated through software?
uhhh... WHAT? I am going to assume you mean BIOS flashing. Go to your computer manufacturer's website, support, and driver downloads, and you can find BIOS updates there.
What five choices do you have if your BIOS doesn't accept a bigger hard drive?
1. If the drive is usable, use the drive at it's available capacity. 2. If the drive doesn't work, set a jumper to "cut" the drive to a smaller detected size. 3. Buy a smaller drive. 4. Use an operating system that doesn't probe the BIOS for the size, but rather probes the chipset directly. Linux and FreeBSD do this; Windows does not. 5. Buy a PCI hard drive controller with it's own built-in BIOS.
How do you format c drive from bios?
The BIOS does not contain code to allow a drive to be formatted. To do that you must load an operating system over the BIOS.
Why doesn't my Intel Pentium II computer support a 60 GB hard drive?
All chipsets used with the Pentium II support up to at least 127 GB hard drives. You probably either have LBA support disable in your BIOS,or your BIOS is buggy and needs to be updated.
Kl how do you disable block mode?
Some BIOS support a method ofdata transfer that allow multiple data transfers each time software requests data. This method is called block mode and should be used if your hard drive and BIOS support it. However, if you are having problems with hard drive drive errors, you can try disabling block mode in CMOS setup.
What is the largest drive supported by windows ME?
Windows ME relies on the BIOS for hard drive support, so it is somewhat more dependent on the BIOS. Computers built before 2002 do not support hard drives larger than 137 GB (127 GiB). If your BIOS does support it (in which case, why aren't you running a more modern operating system on it), you will require a third-party patch for Windows ME to access parts of the drive beyond the LBA48 limit. With two reserved drive letters (A and B), Windows ME can support a maximum of 48 TB, using 24 partitions, each 2 TB in size. This is highly impractical, of course, and FAt32 is highly inefficient on anything above 32 GB.
Which device is NOT managed by BIOS?
hard drive
Where is build BIOS in computer?
In the floppy drive
What devices are controlled by the system BIOS?
A computer BIOS initializes and tests the CPU, RAM, chipset, video card, keyboard, hard drive, optical disk drive, floppy drive, and interrupt handlers. Additionally, the bios will check ports on a computer.
