was the drive completely blank?

maybe its an mbr issue?

do those drives have a 32gb clip? I would check your jumper config
 
hi

the drive previosly had 3 linux partions on it - ubuntu - and would show up as a 80gb drive in linux. Nothing has changed jumpers wise since i took it out of the linux machine.

Will recheck jumpers just in case :)

thanks for your thoughts

Check the jumpers. Some HDDs have a jumper to force 15 head mode which limits the drive to 32Gb.
