I got a new 13 gig Western Digital UDMA66 Hard Drive for my other system and i cant seam to get it to install correctly. On this system i can only get it to format as an 8 gig and a 5 gig partitions, and on the other system it doesnt detect. My Maxtor 13 gigs worked fine on both systems...
Id like to set this drive as a primary slave and just use it as UDMA33 (i dont have a 66 controller). Can some one give me a proper step by step for WD drives, as they obviously dont work the same as Maxtor drives. I have the jumper set correctly on it. Do i need a UDMA66 cable for this drive, even though its not running in UDMA66 mode?
Thanx all. This thing is really pissing me off, as i have NEVER had any install problems with HD's before...
