Goldilocks and the 3 bears

[Madison Kelly]

What make/model is the hard drive? You may want to see if the 
manufacturer has an app called a "Disk Drive Overlay (DDO)". This app is 
a work-around way of bypassing capacity limits in the BIOS. Also, I 
assume, being here, that you are running Linux. Have you tried disabling 
HDD detection for that port (ie. Secondary master) and proceeding to 
boot into Linux and see if it is seen?
