[ale] Hard drive blues

[artic_knight at yahoo.com (Stephen Turner)]

well i got this wonderful 40 gig 7200 rpm as said in a previous post. my issue is while i can install ezbios (i suspect a mbr add on to allow the full 40 gigs to show and be able to read this hard disk) i cant get bios to boot the disk, i tried once before to update my bios but the award bios said i was updated. in any case i wish to dual boot this baby for linux and windoze but i cant get it to be read as s sinle, however i can get it read if another harddrive boots an os, and the western digital floppy sees it reguardless what bios says, what should i do? i would return it for a maxtor however this disk is older than a month now and i do not have the box?? (was using another hard disk for os's which booted the 40) any help? i checked out the wd site and didnt get any sucess with thier jumper settings. any help would be greatly appreciated!Do You Yahoo!?
