Exclamation Overcoming BIOS limitation problems??

My Intel Celeron 1200 Mhz (dont hurt yourself laughing) has a BIOS limitation of 33.8 Gbytes. However, I was not aware of such a thing when I purchased my new 250 Gbyte WB Harddrive. Is there anything I can do to override this limitation? My mother said a technician was able to override it on her laptop before, but that was way back before we moved. If there are software or something I can do to make it work, please tell me!! I'm installing it as a second harddrive, Primary Slave. The harddrive works fine, except I can only have 33.8 Gbytes.

Thanks for your help in advance!

MaxBlast might be able to do some bioshack workarounds for that .. i think also an IDE controller might be able to do recognize it properly
