7NJL6 problems with large harddisk

Has anyone tried to use a 80 Gb or larger harddisk with the 7NJL6
motherboard? When I connect my IDE 80 Gb harddisk it seems impossible to
install Windows XP Professional. The same goes for a 200 Gb harddisk. The
first part of the installation gives no problems, but after rebooting the
computer stops saying there's a disk error. However, when I connect both
harddisks to an Asus P4P800 SE or Gigabyte Titan-series motherboard, there
are no problems so I assume both harddisks are not faulty. Both harddisks
are from WD.
My 10 Gb and 20 Gb harddisks (also from WD) both work very well.

Have you tried upgrading the BIOS?

Yes, I have upgraded the BIOS. No result; Windows XP Pro cannot be
installed. I guess Chaintech mobo's do not have the same quality as those
made by Asus or Gigabyte.
The manual that came with the 7NJL6 was very flimsy compared to the manuals
Asus and Gigabyte include with their mobo's.
