Quite often, BIOS updates can take care of that issue. It depends on the manufacturer though.

Linux may be able to see the whole disk (not sure though), but I think a lot of boot loaders can only access what the BIOS reports.

Quite right. Just something to be aware of. You could try a live CD, and check if your partition manager can access the whole disk.
