Need BIOS for an old AMD Board

Short version: Uncle's drive died and he picked up a WD 320G. Windows XP Pro only sees 137? (I think) gigs. My first inclination is a newer BIOS to fix. Only problem is that I can't find one. The board is an Elements V266B. Closest I've found on the web is a Jetway, but I don't want to chance a wrong flash. Can anyone help?

Does it have Service Pack 1 or 2 installed? If not, you should download and install those first as they add 48 bit LBA support, then see if the problem still exists.

I hadn't checked, but I know his intention is to use this as the only HDD in this box.
