Soyo SY-K7V DRAGON plus!

Any hard drive that I put into IDE-1 is seen as much smaller that it
actually is. I have 40 gig drives in the RAID ports configured in striping
mode. These appear to work fine.

When I put a WD 40 gig drive in IDE-1 it is seem as a 12 gig. When I put a
10 gig drive it is seen as a 4 gig. If I put them into IDE-2 they are seen
as they truly are.
The 40 gig is a WD & the 10 gig is a Quantum.

Anyone seen this before?

I also tried to use this port for a CDROM but it was buggy, wouldn't work.

Is this a bad port?

regards
Joe S.

I haven't encountered this problem personally, but based on your detective
work, it's my opinion that your IDE 1 is toast. You have turned LBA on, and
settings for the two IDE ports are identical?

Set to AUTO. =/

Hard to believe it's toast. I used the port for a few months before I got
the 2nd drive & created the RAID config.

Going to try manual next.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

could be that the fdisk is set to so it is partioned and the other 28 gigs
is in unactive partition. Maybe that helps
