go to the web site of the mb manufacturer and download the bios updates of your board.

as far as supporting 120 gb hard drive
-if this is the new hard drive you've buyed make it slave
boot windows XP
-right click on my Computer
-select Manage
-choose disk manager
this will show you the right capacity of your drive and here you can safely create partitions

after this you can use your hard drive properly
