Yeah you're right. It's gotta be a BIOS issue since the systems are
identical in terms of hardware. If the BIOS doesn't support the larger
capacity hard drives it may not be able to boot.

There's a whole bunch of fun limitations one needs to deal with between
the hard drive, the controller, the BIOS and the OS.

For more information than any sane person needs on all that, see:
