It depends on how your BIOS describes the disk. You need to tell it the
details printed on the disk case, which will be larger than the default
largest numbers. This might need a BIOS upgrade.
I found that I got your problem when the LBA option was set in the BIOS.
When I specified the disk geometry instead, it worked.
