HELP! installing maxtor d740x

[deejayshakur]

it came with the ata133 controller, which i installed... then i connected the drive, which the controller detects as dma 6 (ata 133). however, i'm in win98 (i normally run win2k, dual boot) and i'm fdisk'ing the drive, but it only shows up as 10GB... not good, for an 80GB drive. i'm going to install the via 4-in-1 drivers (for an asus a7v--check my system rig) and see if that does anything... my current hd is a 20gb 75gxp, which thank god hasn't died on me yet... any input??? thanks in advance.

Try updating your bios. Hard to figure everything out without knowing more. Gen Hardware is definatly a better place
