Maybe the same trick works for you that helped me with my hdd in my
ThinkPad T43 (SATA as well, following excerpt taken from my
documentation on the linux installation on the T43):

Download the i386 netinstall image from
http://www.us.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, burn it to a CD and
boot from it.
At the boot prompt select expert26 or kernel26
When asked for modules to enable, first disable ata-piix, then let the
installer detect the optical drive, then at the next prompt for modules
to enable reenable ata-piix (This might seem a little bit weird, but is
important in order to make the installer able to detect the optical
drive at all)
