Any help gratefully recieved, trying to install a samsung sp0842n 80gb hard drive as a slave drive but vista is only recognising 32.5 gb when i go to format and partition it????
Any ideas?

Jeff, does your BIOS tell you the correct size of the HDD?

Jeff, go here. Sometimes we're not the fount of all knowledge. The company that made the thing certainly will be.

Notice how Vista might be getting its knickers in a twist..?
