Keith,

I had an old PC with a similar limitation.  I found that Windows 2000 seems
to ignore the BIOS and do its own thing, so when I installed a 120GB drive,
Win2K could see the full capacity even though the BIOS thought it was much
smaller.

I also used that same PC to set up my Tivo 120GB drive.  The version of
Linux on the boot CD I used also seemed to ignore the BIOS.

HTH

Tim
