I'm extremely puzzled by this problem.
Building a new system with a Foxconn C51XEM2AA motherboard and AMD 6000+, I got 2 identical Western Digital WD400YR 400gb hard drives. The first drive shows up correctly as a 400 gig drive, but the second disk is only showing as a 150 GB drive in the bios (there is no OS installed yet). I've tried running FDISK to recreate the partition/reformat, but the max capacity is still listed as only 150GB. This happens regardless of which SATA port the drive is connected to, and remains if it is the only drive connected.
Is there something physically wrong with the disk? It reads/writes/formats fine, just at a fraction of the capacity.
Any ideas or suggestions? It's greatly appreciated!
