Disable SATA feature in your BIOS. Now the drive should be recognized as a 
normal PATA disk. Install Debian, recompile with SATA support and enable 
SATA. I'm not sure how this works as I've never tried it myself. Try 
googling for "SATA support for Debian". If it works for Debian, it should 
work for other distros.
