you can disable the HD in bios but you cannot boot from it then. so you
might want to get one more HD that would be recognized (smaller, I guess you
can get those very cheap) and use the bigger HD as non-boot drive.
I had the same problem with 60GB Matrox (but they said it straight away -
if you have problems, make the disk appear smaller), luckily I still had an
original 2GB HD that I used for booting.
