Hey I have a secondary 13GB HDD, but when in windows it shows up as 810mb. In BIOS it shows up as 13GB, just in windows if you try to format it, it only shows up as 810mb, any ideas?

Shows up where in windows? My computer? Right click on My Computer and select MANAGE. Go do Disk Manager and see how the drive is configured. Sounds like either it was partitioned that way for an older system, it's using an overlay program to limit it's capacity or there's a "clipping" jumper (I don't recall seeing a clip jumper on a 13GB WDD though).
