Can't honestly say I understand why switching to 'cable select' would have effected the reported drive capacity, especially if there had been no jumper changes before the original loss of full capacity. It could be that one of the master modes included an artificial capacity reduction, and the drive has developed a fault that has caused this to apply to both master modes, but not cable select. But whatever the reason, glad to hear it worked... Regards, DigbyT -- Digby R. S.
