Tomay 0 Posted January 24, 2003 ;( I have a WDC WD205BA 20gig hdd on a QDI BrillianX IS/2000. When I autodetect the hdd it detects it correctly TYPE SIZE CYLS HEAD PRECOMP LANDZ SECTOR MODE USER 20523 2495 255 0 39769 63 LBA But the nex time I boot even if I press ctrl+alt+del the disk turns into a 7927MB drive, or at least the bios reports it as sutch. Standard cmos menu: TYPE SIZE CYLS HEAD PRECOMP LANDZ SECTOR MODE User 7921 963 255 0 39769 63 LBA The drive seems to work ok even with this settings (XP sees drive as 20Gb) Has anyone had similar problems? I tested the WD200EB 20GB drive and it works correctly with no problems. It only comes up with the WD205BA. I'm going to test it on another motherboard, but I doub it will show the same error, cos I asume the error is bios related (Yes I have the latest bios). I don't know if this is just a cosmetic error or can it do harm. As a workaround I've set the drive on autodetect, so it's detected on every boot.
