No, Fox-3 was trying to install an 80 gig hard drive in a system whose bios does not support extended LBA that high. It doesn't matter what you try to boot from, the excess cylinders in the hard drive translation causes the POST to hang unless you use the alternate jumpering to limit the drive to 1024 cylinders. Once you get it past that, you use the bios overlay to translate what the bios is actually seeing to the full capacity of the drive.
