Linux wouldn't mind, but your BIOS might. Some older BIOS just hang when it tries to detect a drive that is too big. The easies way around
I ran into a few computers here at work that had that problem.
this is, if your BIOS allows it, to just set that drive to 'none' or not installed. This does mean you have to use it as a slave though. Linux
I found the easiest way around the problem was to use the size limit jumper on the drive. The BIOS saw it as a small drive and didn't hang. Those computers were running Windows 95 so I still had to use the drive manager software that loads on boot. There was one strange limit to this setup. That hard drive would only report the small limited size on a cold start but not a warm start so we always had to turn off the computer to do a reboot.
