That's not entirely true. You can override the BIOS to an extent, but
not completely.
It sounds like this is the case on Aaron's system. Take a look at:
http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/bios/sizeGB128-c.html. The answer seems
to be to add a newer ATA133 controller. It seems to be a problem with
ATA33/66/100 only being able to with LBA48 addressing.
