Sometimes disabling the hdd auto detection in your computer bios helps.

If that doesn't, you really need to find another pc with a bios that doesn't put the harddisk in a frozen state. It can even be a very old (cheap) one.

Another method of doing things is connecting the harddisk cable after the pc has booted.
This can damage your harddisk and even your pc as the ide interface was never designed for that.

regards.
