Big hard drive problem



     Hi,
     
     My IDE hard drive is about to ____ the bed.  I've got a 5.2 Gig IDE 
     drive to replace it with, but there's a problem.  I've got a '94 
     Gateway P60.  My IDE CDROM wont coexist with the big drive.  If I can 
     see the HD, I can't find the CDROM.  Most configurations simply freeze 
     up when trying to boot.
     
     Any suggestions?  Someone must have had this problem before me.
     
     There are downlaodable BIOS available.  Would these solve my problem?  
     They seem to be for Win95...  I don't have that.
     
     Thanks,
     Peter
     
     PS I'm running Slackware 3.6
