Hi all,

I am trying to setup a 120gb Maxtor HDD in my compaq server. However, the hard drive is only being detected as a 6gb! How do I resolve this problem, as I want to use the full capacity of the drive?
 
On a normal PC, this can be caused by a restriction of the BIOS and it is usual practice to obtain and install a BIOS upgrade.

What server hardware are you using?

Suggest that the bios on the system be upgraded and then check the jumper settings on the HDD. sometimes when set to master, it may not do the trick. You may need to change it to cable select (CS) since this is a neutral setting for the drive.
