Asrock 775Dual-VSTA - hard drive problem ?

Scooby-DoobyDoo · 12 Nov 2006 at 14:27

Help, I have a Asrock dual vsta with latest. The problem is it only recognises my 160gb Samsung Spinpoint IDE as a 40gb ??

Any ideas if there is a fix or am I missing something obvious ?

Thanks in Advance

Did you install XP on it by formatting it during setup as a FAT32 drive?

Checked Disk Management? (Start > run > diskmgmt.msc > enter) Does it display the whole drive correctly?

Hi no I was installing XP with NTFS. I checked the bios and its only detected at 40gb too

Sorted it out. There was a jumper on it limiting it to about 40gb's. Weird as detected on my gigabyte board as a 160 drive. Put it with the asrock and showed as about 40gbs.
