Are the pin settings on the drive correct? Some hard drives have pin setting to 'shrink' their size for older computers. Drives over 32 gig have a 32 gig setting, I don't remember if 8 gig is one of the 'older' sizes, I thought it was 2 gig, but there may have been an 8 gig setting.

Hi all, I found a spare 20GB sitting around here at work and put it into my machine as a ghost file drive. Anyway, I made 3 partitions on it. 2 partitions for swap partitions and 1 for the ghost data. When I look at it in the drive manager, it only sees it as 8GB and I can not see anything on the drive. Although from DOS, everything looks fine. I am using System Commander as a boot manager if that matters. What exactly am I not remembering at the moment that is causing this?
