Have in older notebook 500GB SATA1 HD installed, is recognized, but then crashes off. Does the bios depend on which hard disk sizes you can install?

Yes.

Depends on the age. But your notebook can't be so old that it does not recognize a 500GB or does not work with it.

I think you do not mean the mechanical size.
