Your only hope to overcome that is if there is a BIOS update for your
computer.



Unfortunately, no BIOS update available beyond the one I have. I was
thinking of trying something like gParted and therefore handling the
issue outside of Win in DOS, or some type of drive overlay software I
was reading about.

Officially there won't be a solution for some BIOS code, but there are a few nuts out there rewriting old BIOS code knocking these types of bugs down flat. If you'll give your system make and model perhaps I can find those pages again and you may have an unofficial BIOS update already to download. I'll see what info I've got stored away and get back here if I find something relevant.

Lacking fixed BIOS code, all I had to suggest was drive overlay software, but I don't have a software name suggestion going down that road at all, sorry.
