Problem is that thing worked with new drive whole day, rebooted several
times with no problem, and now doesn't work with old one with same
symptoms.

I don't need BIOS to support all 40Gb. It is enough for me that BIOS
would see 32Mb boot partition (and it does).

As far as I understand, newer bigger hard drives consume less power
than older smaller ones, so increased drain on power system shouldn't be
a problem too.
