Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 on a 9300

I tried installing a Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 60 GB drive on an Inspiron 9300 and got a "no hard drive detected" error.   Come to find out from Hitachi's website that they don't list the 9300 as being compatible with this drive:  http://www.hitachigst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/6829A9AFE0DCD1E586256FF0004F1B70/$file/7K100_com.pdf

 

However, the testing was done several months ago, so I don't know if this is true.  Would this just be a BIOS issue?
