If you can't get the Firmware BIOS to recognise the drive properly you can
either try flashing the BIOS to a newer version, or replace the BIOS.
(Which is a obtuse way of telling you to give up and replace the Motherboard
and buy a $50 processor and some RAM while you're at it. Oh yeah, and
you'll need a new case 'cause it'll be an ATX motherboard.)
"EZ-BIOS" is a way to guarantee that you will eventually loose all the data
on the drive, because any serious boot error will corrupt the "driver" it
installs and you are HOSED.
