I am planning on installing a 160GB Hardrive on my PC but it has come to my understanding that I need to update my BIOS. I have no idea of how to go about updating my BIOS, I don't know what kind of motherboard I have but I know that it is a 700 MHz Celeron.

Oh the motherboard is from a Compaq presario that I got about 4 years ago.
