hdd and limited capacity
I have WD400bb. On label of this drive is wrote 40.0GB with date
23-sep-2004. There alsaw settings of jumpers, master, slave and cabel select. There is alsaw, what is strange: IBM warrenty void if removed. (???) I think, that this drive is from service part from IBM for old computers. Problem is that, taht BIOS shows 2,5GB capacity. Windows, pqmagic, fdisk alsaw shows 2,5GB capacity. It doesnt matter whitch program i use, or there is or not any partition. There is no jumpers setting this. there is only one jumper, setting drive to slave. This looks like there are some part of drive is inactive, and a question is how to active this part, whitch software or what i have to do on electronic plate, that this drive had 40.0GB

Physycly BIOS see the 2,5GB So what your saying is, "That your BIOS is knackered", `cos you know the drive is 40.0GB ??. The reason I asked for your OS, was to try to suggest ways of recovering the full 40.0Gb. bw, and happy New year...OJ
