Default Hard Drive Problem

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello, I am going to ask this here since I run Slackware and it maybe a
Slackware issue. I have a WD4001 4GB HDD as my Secondary Drive. It was
FAT and I burned all the files to CD to make the drive Linux formatted.
Well on reinstalling the Slackware I have to make this work right,
everything looked good. It formatted out at 4001MB and the main 30GB hdd
formatted out to a 30GB HDD. Then after getting it all installed, and
the drive setup, somehow it forced the drive to be a 528MB drive and not
a 4001MB drive. I have Set the BIOS and reset it and set it and it
continually shows as a 528MB drive even after resetting it in the BIOS.
Anyone???

Or ... is it you're too much involved in "bios" ?

Please note I am me and I am no one else. Female and A woman, take the
BIOS information. I have tried so many times to get it to see the WD4001
as a 4GB HDD and it refuses to see it no more than a 528MB drive. This
is not Al or anyone else but me.

How old is that drive? About 5 years old or better?

Lets see, I got it from my Aunt when she upgraded her computer, that was
3 years ago, she had it for I think 3 years and got it new then. So my
guestimate is around 6 years old. It works fine though, I just wish I
had anotehr 30GB HDD instead. Then I could save all my ISO Downloads
there and burn as needed.
