I have a 20Gb drive in a an old P100. I had to do a BIOS upgrade (as the
hdd manual suggested) which made it able to understand the huge drive a
little better. Then it offered a special program that made Windows able to
see the entire drive but Linux could see it all even without that
program. I have some 40Gb drives in some newer machines and haven't had
any problems with them either.
