OK, I stand corrected.

Juan, BTW, just a shot in the dark: what kind of motherboard do you
have?  Could you check on the net if a BIOS upgrade is available for
your motherboard?  I had a similar problem when I first got a 40 GB
disk (my ASUS motherboard only supported 32 GB disks, and hung during
POST if it found a larger disk), but a BIOS upgrade fixed that (though
I didn't know until I contacted ASUS, because it wasn't listed on the
support page for my motherboard)
