| 540026 | 2007-04-11 04:07:00 | You didnt put the jumper on the back of this hdd on the jumper saying 32GB did u?? (if theres a jumper there). And what did u format the hdd in? FAT32, or NTFS? What version of Windows is it? |

| 540027 | 2007-04-11 04:15:00 | nope ... jumper is sent to Master .... and NTFS formatted ... XP Pro SP2 | MattnBJ (12119) | ||
| 540028 | 2007-04-11 04:39:00 | Check your Bios and switch on LBA (logical Block Addressing) which I believe is required for larger drives. | porkster (6331) | ||
| 540029 | 2007-04-11 04:40:00 | i have it set to Auto - LBA .... | MattnBJ (12119) | ||
| 540030 | 2007-04-11 04:44:00 | What does the BIOS see? 32 or 80 GB?? Only other thing, I can think of is the jumper besides the Master and Slave, is set to 32 GB on the back of it. Is it or was it partitioned?? Before u formatted it?? In Windows, go to control panel / admin tools / computer management / disk management. Does the rest of the hdd appear here as unallocated? |

| 540031 | 2007-04-11 04:57:00 | Bios sees 31.4 .... and no the jumper is set to Master ... there is no other jumper on it ... (diagram on the HD itself) .... yes it was partitioned and then i formatted it and fresh installed it ... And under diskmanagment .. the rest isn't read ... just says healthy 31.4 |

| 540033 | 2007-04-11 14:06:00 | Yes the PSU went ... had to reinstall windows ... | MattnBJ (12119) | ||
| 540034 | 2007-04-11 18:47:00 | sure the jumper may be set to master but it may also be set to 'master 32gb'....please be EXTRA specially careful when you read the diagram..... | drcspy (146) | ||
