Bug#457388: several disks
If the computer really needs three Linux distrubutions,
it might be an option to re-arrange distros on disks.
To actual debug why the 200Gb PATA doesn't work,
I would install Debian with it's kernel on another disk,
one that boots. When it has been seen working,
is the next step booting from the 200Gb PATA disk.
At that point has special care be taken to make sure
that disk /dev/sdX (or /dev/hdX) is the actual boot disk.
So no BIOS tweaking.
Cheers
