installing a hard drive?

[dumbmayhem]

Got a Samsung 1tb F1 installed in the PC and for the life of me I can't get it working properly!

It's showing in my computer as having 32mb and I'm assuming that would be the cache?

Anyway, I've went into Disk Management and I can't seem to extend the size. Here is a screenshot of Disk Management.

It's on Windows x64 if that makes any difference at all.

Cheers.

You have to format it. Plonk in whatever Windas disk u have and reboot. Go thru the options, it`ll sort it out for u

Well, I popped my vista x64 disk in. When it got to the format screen, went to advanced options and fotmatted the disk. When it came to the size it only had 32 mb as the max. Deleted the disk and tried again and same problem appeared.

Went to repair on the vista disk too but no options related to this.

Send it back mate, sounds dodgy. Only further thing I can add (though I`d really be RMAing it) is that you have your BIOS rigged up incorrectly for that drive. Maybe have a quick look, do you have any options for IDE, AHCI, SATA that can be swapped about etc etc .... graspin` here, dunno what to say :\

Have a search in the forum, there were quite a few reports of this happening when the F1s were quite new.
