OK, I should have tried updating the driver before my last post. I obtained the Promise Controller Card driver from Western Digital, here:

It turns out it's identical to the version I have on floppy disk, that came with the drive and card...
UPDATE
I backed up all the data from the dysfunctional drive, ran Western Digital's utilties (a quick test, a full test, and a full format--writing zeros to the entire drive), then used the utilities to format and partion. This time I just partitioned the entire drive as one 186GB partition...

Haha, wow, you must have posted while I was composing my last post.
Your situation, at least your setup, sounds a little more complicated than mine. However, you seem to be using a much newer machine, and you don't have the lingering possibility that the 137GB limitation has...

The controller card I'm using is the Promise Technology Ultra ATA100 PCI Controller Card. Different sources (e.g. the control panel on my computer and the box the HDD and card came in) give it slightly different names, but I believe it's the one at the bottom of this page, called...

An update and a *bump*:
I've concluded that somehow the HDD's full 186 GB capacity is unuseable. The "D" and "F" (first and last) partitions seem to be competing for storage. Although Windows recognizes each partition as having a 62.1 GB capacity, if I fill one of them up, then add data to...
This looks like a fairly neglected thread, but I'll give it a shot.
I have the exact same issue with the current version of Premiere, Adobe Premiere Pro. Mp3 compression is not an option under audio compression when exporting a video. The only ways I've seen mp3 output possible through...
Some weeks ago, I replaced my 40 GB system-HDD, which was connected directly to the motherboard bus. In addition to the system drive, there was a 200 GB storage-only drive attached to an ATA-100 PCI card. It was divided into three equal 62 GB partitions ("D", "E", and "F").
I replaced the 40...
