That's a point, isn't 8 gig a "large" hard drive?

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?

Thanks,
Bobby
