Q: I have a ST360020a Seagate hard drive. It only seems to be able to read 32 GB instead of 60. Here (http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/ata/st360020a.html) is the diagram illustrates the configuration. I have configured the jumpers for master. I tried two different systems BOISes updated. Why can not all read my system 60.00 GB?
Re:Double check the jumper posistions make sure it's 7-8 (away from the power connector) and not 1-2 (near the power connector). Make sure the bios recognizes the drive as master.
Re:Hot but I don't think hot enought to create such an issue. I mean if it is hot enough to create such an issue wouldn't it damage the drive. Instead of damage part of it. But ya even if I try disk management it only sees 32.
Re:So windows XP disk management? Even if you delete all the partitions it will only let you make a 32gb one? How hot is it getting?
Re:I tried bootdisks, I tried Windows XP, 2000 OS CD's, I tried to put it as a slave and do it with Partition Magic, They all show the same available 32 Gbs.

Re:What software are you using to partition it?
Re:BOIS Auto Detect, 2003, tried it when it was blank, tried with a partition and without one. But the point is even when I remove all partitions and try to create a new one it only gives me 32 as my available unpartitioned space in the first place. The drive heats up a lot if it makes any difference. Because I believe it was working at one point with all 60.
Re:The Bios's are set on auto detect? From year 2000 or newer? Drive is blank, no partitions?
Re:So you only have one jumper in it, on the 7-8 pins right?
