I suspect that the BIOS in that system is not capable of supporting a 40 GB HDD. That is a very old system. Some of the older HDD have a jumper setting which lowers their capacity at a BIOS level. This may be a work around. Otherwise a BIOS upgrade may be in order or failing that it may be time to give up on the old girl.
