Hi Steven
Thanks for your comments.
Wayne asked my about my BIOS settings regarding the WDC400 =

and I answered with my specs as displayed here !

I would really appreciate your specific hint or suggestions what I do =

need to change in my given settings !!

I am not an expert nor a techie in HW but was able to get my new =

WDC400 running early this year ;-)

Beside of this I am keen to learn from Wayne's experiences =

what I had made wrongly in my case ;-))

At this moment I am struggling and trying with my GigaMO again.
A 1.3GB MO-Media shows only 295MB ;-((

The case with my GigaMO isn't that important as the one with =

the HDD but later I would like to get it solved too ;-))

Cheers, svobi

PS:

Enclosed I attached my FDISK /QUERY:ALL

- fd_qa.txt =

Does it show something I must correct ?

This is a typical LBA setup. If you read up on LBA, you will find these
numbers more more confusing than anything else. It's the legacy of bad
PC
design decisions made long ago. To access a drive >8GB, the BIOS or the
driver has to send commands contains in logical block number (LBA). The
drive translates this into true CHS values. The confusing arises when
some driver puts the drive into one of the CHS modes and tries access
the
drive with a conflicting mapping.

>What's Steven's opinon / Suggestion here ?

If it were me, I would continue on the path that I have been leading
Wayne, We seem to be having some sucess. :-)

Steven
