I've upgraded the drive in my 750P to 2.1GB with no problems at all. 
Ensure you have the latest BIOS available. After that, you may have to
Initialize the CMOS to get the drive noticed. Or try starting the machine
with no drive to make sure it notices the change. Use the EZSetup to test
the drive, too.

Just what happened when "the BIOS had a fit"?
