Yes and no. Hard drive limitations are usually a function of the chipset (which includes the IDE controller as well).
BIOS software usually gets upgraded to fix bugs but generally do not add functionality to the hardware (except in some cases where I've seen BIOS upgrades that allow a newer CPU to be identified correctly, etc.).
Run CPU-Z and it will tell you the BIOS version and date as well (on the mainboard tab).
