Just to add to JuanMatias post. I have had the same problem for ages. I recently updated my bios so that it would recognize the 1TB disk correctly, as per this post http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.grub.bugs/8433
The bios now does recognize the 1TB disk correctly but the PC will still not boot from the 1TB disk on a "cold" boot, but after the PC has been booted from another drive, I can do a reboot from the 1TB drive no problems. It would appear from this that the problem is with GRUB 2 and not with the BIOS. Why is this taking so long to get fixed?
