couldn't you just make it smaller in the bios and go and install linux on it anyway
like my laptop 12gb disk windoze only see's 8gb and it's only in the 1st 2gb only anyway. Linux on the rest works fine. Linux dosen't care about broken bios'es! Heck it dosen't even use it! Just don't forget your settings in the bios, write them down somewhere!
