Make sure that the drive actually doesn't work properly. I have had 
(on a desktop machine) a 2.5GB drive reported by the BIOS as 
450MB-ish, but working perfectly, with all capacity available.

I'd say "buy an IDE interface card with on-board BIOS", but that 
won't help your portable.

Otherwise, get hold of Ontrack Disk Manager or something similar.
Make sure you make a boot floppy, because that will be the only way 
to gain access to your data if a hard disc becomes unbootable 
(without being totally unreadable).
