Hey guys,

Okay om having a weird issue with my older pc that has a 120GB IDE hard drive.....thing is its only showing up as 32 or 36gb in size (i cant remember the exact value its showing il take a look later)

Its been fully formated btw..

But yeah....not showing near anywhere near the 120.

what up?
 
Is this a slave hard drive, or an external hard drive or something?
You may need to go into Computer Mangement > Disk Management, to check what Windows reports
Where are you seeing these values exactly? My Computer?
 
First thing that popped into mind was the jumper. Many older drives had a jumper that capped them to ~32GB. Confirm this isn't selected.
 
Oh yeah that's it
Just put the jumper on CS instead of the 32Gig limit that its presently on

I had a Samsung drive with similar jumper settings, and it went bad and permanently limited itself to 32Gigs. Failed to load OS after that also.
