Hi

I have just upgraded my system:

Athlon XP2100
512 DDR Ram
ECS K7S5A motherboard
60Gb Barracuda 7200RPM UDMA100 IDE drive

Only 32Gb of my hard drive is recognised? Could it be the BIOS? Anyone know ?

Regards Nick

It could be the BIOS, is it set to autodetect drives??? Also, are you sure the drive isn't partitioned?

Check your settings in BIOS and make sure thatt hte drives are set to auto detect.

Also, double check and make sure that LBA is on on...sometimes the AUTO setting doesn't work....

Hi

The drive is not partitioned cos its brand new. Yes the BIOS is set to auto is this good or bad?? what should it be set too??

Cheers
Nick

It should be set to auto, you can manually set it if absolutely necessary, but it is a hassle. How about the LBA??

Hi

Sorry but i dont know what the LBA is?

Regards
Nick

It is one of the settings in the BIOS that control the hard drives. It should be on...
