Don't disable the ide channel, set the hard drive type to none in the bios, instead of auto. I have 5 or 6 machines that are like that, 120 gig drives in machines with 32 gig limits, and a few with 8 gig limits
If you are running 2.2.2x, make sure you put Andre's IDE patches in, as it properly enables the controller to work at full speed, with DMA.
