hello i was wondering if anyone can help me, i recently installed a maxtor 8mb 250gb UIDE drive 6y250po. When installed it only recognizes as 127gb, ive read around everywhere and cant find a working fix. i tried Maxtor's big drive enabler, i have win sp2, done tons of stuff. i have a amd64 3200+ and soyo k8usa so i wouldnt think its the mobo needs to be updated but thats the only remaining thing i can think of and im kinda scared of flashing my bios. it doesnt even recognize on startup as 250 or even close, and when i installed windows too. its not partitioned or anything.. it just doesnt recognize full capacity.
i also have 2 maxtor 160 sata's that i had in RAID and now all the sudden only one works and my raid is broken?? i dont know what happened .. ive played with it a bit but it doesnt recognize 2 drives on startup only one it acts like one is actually broken, i dont know what could be wrong with it it seems to be running and whatnot.. sata cables?? anyway any help would be appreciated.
