Adjusting boot system in BIOS

I bought a new hard disk yesterday. However, it is not working in my computer. I thought that it is broken but friend told me that my BIOS is not supporting that size hard drives. He told me that I should update my BIOS. Is that true? What is BIOS actually used for? Can I use it for adjusting boot system?

BIOS is a collection of system programs, which are stored in the ROM memory of your motherboard. Those programs are startup softwares for any computers. They are monitoring all components of your computer. The BIOS is used for startup settings of your computer. In BIOS, you can find all the basic data about your computer: list of components, speed of CPU, motherboard clock, temperature of system and CPU, cooler speed etc. You can also use BIOS for adjusting boot system. Motherboard has its own battery to support the BIOS. If that battery fails, the BIOS will loose its content and your computer would not start. If your motherboard manufacturer publishes the newer version of BIOS, you should definitely download and install that version. It would solve your problem.
