It is preventing the full capacity of the disk from showing up. There is a second possibility. If your motherboard is old enough, it might not support large hard drives. http://rma.asus.de/support/FAQ/faq076_32gb_ide_hdd.htm http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm "and has a fix for the 32GB IDE harddisk limit to support drives up to 128GB" I don't have any motherboards that old, and those links are just a few examples I've run into in the past.

From: AAH on 12 Jul 2010 07:12 Paul This computer was manufactured about 9/10 years ago for Windows 98SE just before the WinMe appearance. The motherboard should be ok?

Notice they're only using the leftmost two jumper positions. In some cases, you'd expect the third jumper position to be the "clip" jumper (i.e. pins 3 and 4). At least, make sure any jumpers you are using, are in the leftmost two positions. Jumper leftmost is master. No jumpers is slave. Jumper second from left is Cable Select. Inserting a second jumper, on pins 3 and 4, in addition to any other jumpers, might clip the capacity to 33GB, but the manual does not confirm that function in this case. http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/disc/manuals/maxtor/100435213b.pdf As for your motherboard, I have a motherboard from roughly the same year, and it has a 128GB limit. And I only got the max value that high, after a BIOS update. The problem could be related to the BIOS and the era of the motherboard. I thought the motherboard might not start properly, if a too-big drive was connected ? I don't know the answer to that, as to what symptoms to expect if the motherboard doesn't support big drives.
