40 Gig drive

I wanted to use another computer to install Windows 2000, so I could boot from the CD. So I put my 40gig drive from my Pentium 233, and put it in a Pentium III 450, and it did not detect it! Could that be possible that a Pentium I can understand a bigger hard Drive than a PIII? I wonder if there is just something wrong with the PIII?
