Reply: (edit)Does your bios support LBA (logical block addressing). If it does then set you primary master in your BIOS to LBA enabled. If it does not then your drive probably had something that fools the system into thinking it does support LBA. Western Digital drives have a program called "drive master" or something like that, just for this purpose. It alows you to put a larger drive on a system that can only handle a 540 meg drive... Hope this helps....
