The mobo will only detect the first 33.81gb of the drive and not the other half. I have updated the bios to the newest available. Im will be using XP on the system.
 
Does the bios properly recognize the drive?
I just set my brother-in-law up with a 60GB IBM and a 8K3A, the problem I had was with Win98 seeing the whole drive. I used the Win98 fdisk update and was able to utilize the whole drive.
 
Pederv, AxR34L's system uses WinXP. Win98 had the problem of not recognizing big hard drives (as with other things). I don't know the solution to AxR34L's problem, but XP should not have that problem.
 
Thats the funny thing. I know the prob that 8 had but my bios won't even recognize the drive to it's full size. The epox site says any bios after november of 99 or 00 has a fix for this and i'm using the newest bios for the mobo.
 
Nevermind, I am a complete moron. I didn't bother to check the jumpers and the jumper that limits it to the first 32 gigs was engaged. So problem solved.
