Well, did you put in the WB disk to see if it is still there?
 
Are you running 3.1?
 
If so, see if the board is still recognized in the startup menu.  You may have to just clean a connection or two...

ok, did you look in the startup sequence to also see if the GVP HD card is recognized? If you have any other expansion boards they'd be listed here as well.
 
If you have never done this before, just know that you will not get a name but a code for the GVP HD card. What that # is I don't know off hand :( but if it is the only addon board you have then it will either be blank or show you the one (or two if it also has RAM on it) GVP card.
 
And the reason yo'd put in the 3.1 WB disk is to let it boot off of it and see what Icons/drives come up.
 
Good luck!

Haha yes, I mean the early Expansion board diagnostic you can see with both mouse buttons pressed.  I apologize for the confusion...:(
