540 is an EIDE drive.  You may need to flash upgrade your BIOS.  When
the 750s first came out, only 170 and 340 MB drives were available.
When the 755's and 540/810 MB EIDE drives became available, IBM put
out a BIOS update for the 750s so they could use the EIDE drives.
You can get the latest BIOS from ftp.pcco.ibm.com in /pub/mobiles.
