and maxtor blast 3 you can use to partition but it doesnt read as 160GB

 

[bla!!]

Hmmm, I've never heard of a manufacturer doin something like that, it's usually just that jumper, but ya never know.

I'd give em a call if the re-detect doesn't work.

[rooster]

Hello i bought hard drive from you and it doesn't seem to show up the full amount of GB on the computer the hard drive is a 160Gb 7200RPM Ultra ATA/133 8MB CACHE

i would very appreciate it if you would resolve the issue your cd did not help.

My computer is a Dell Dimension 4600
Windows XP Home Edition

 

[bla!!]

Under the options there should be an option for auto detect. Click on that box, and change it to the other option, then back to auto detect.

That should make it re-detect the HD.

where in the bios

 

[bla!!]

Hmm, I'm on my mac right now and don't have access to a PC, but I believe it's under CMOS settings.

Just take a peek around. It should be in the same area as your other HD, and CD/DVD drives.
