No it just doesn't read the disk having more than 7000 mbs - there is the small 8mbs section and the 7000mbs
Ok I delete the 7000mb one and try to create a new one - and all it shows is a possable 7000 mb to be created / formated -(this happens on 2 different HDs)
?

Please give exact details regarding the jumper settings of the drives, and the type of ribbon cable being used [40 conductor or 80 conductor], and which IDE ports the drives are connected to.. WD drives jumpering can be confusing.
Also during boot, on the intial boot screen, is the drive shown as the proper size??? Be aware that you can stop the boot screen to take time to read it by hitting the pause key.
