The firmware utility requires the drive to be the only HDD in the system, and attached to a SATA port. This is a USB-attached drive (in a SATA/USB enclosure), and the eighth HDD connected to the system. Since it's also brand new, I don't know what the firmware would give me that the last revision--assuming my drive has an older firmware--didn't. But I cannot start re-jigging every HDD I have to try this.

The BIOS doesn't list any sizes, just the model numbers. :-(

Just out of interest, what size does your BIOS think that the drive is?
