ATA 133 + 120 gig harddrive *SOLVED*

[YaKuZa]

When I connected my 120 gig harddrive to my ATA133 card, the cards BIOS and Windows only detects it as a 32 gig harddrive. What do I have to do so Windows will detect the entire thing? Thanks. Sorry if this is a redundant question, I did a search and couldn't find anything.

Thanks for your help.

Are you 100% sure you set the jumpers correctly on the hard drive?

Yes

hey i just ordered this dirve from staples. and i think i will also get the 133 pci card with it..

i have a ATA 100 on my mobo built in.. i think i will just use that..but will it really be a big boost if i use the ata 133 card instead..i mean i dont see any this should make a big difference..unless i am transfering big files..

You won't get ATA133 card . only 160GB and above will get one

This won't make any difference at all, regardless if file size. The ATA66 spec is barely stressed, so ATA100 is almost pointless, and ATA133 is marketing hype.
