Well, I've actually been able to use new 80GB disks in very old 
computers (Pentium 200 Classic) with no jumper limiter... Maybe you 
could try to boot without the jumper? Even if the bios can't see the 
whole disk, Linux will see it.... you just need to get booted.. (in last 
instance you can boot from a floppy )
