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.

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.
That's another way, of course, but then you lose the additional space.
Plus, if we're talking about really old machines, like many Pentiums,
the 33gb limit jumper won't do you much good if the machine cannot see
past 8gb...
