How to pass by bios limit for hdd?

I'm going to buy a the seagate momentus 100GB, 7200rpm when it comes.

However, a hdd utillity from Hitachi told me that the limit for my bios is 80gb. (i have the latest)
I'm going to use it as internal drive of course.

How can i pass by this.

I'm guessing that the 100GB drive will work to full capacity regardless of what Hitachi says. Worst case is it will work but only be recognized as an 80GB drive.

yes, I hope so.

I dont want the 60gb 7200 rpm. The step between 40-60 is to small. I i dont wont any 4200 or 5400rpms drive. "It will happen today"!!

I agree with funtoupgrade.  There is no way to bypass the bios limit on a laptop.
