I can't install my new ibm hard disk. Actually, I have problem with jumpers. I already have an 6GB hard disk, but i wish to have this new one like a master and this 6GB like a slave. How should I put those stupid jumpers to have entire disk space available and not just 32GB. please help me, I am very desperate!
 
It is possible that you have a BIOS limitation that cuts you off at 32GB.

If you are using windows 98 or less then the maximum size for a partition is 32gig.
Microsoft used to have a update to fix this but windows 98 is not supported anymore by microsoft so i don't know. Alternatly partition your drive into 2.
