Your writing is soo wierd. Been Messagina lot?

BTW you mentioned that its 120 GB Disk and is detected as 4.3 Gb is that right?
If so then may be your MoBo is older and is not detecting the disk properly. And you say Baracuda that makes it an SCSI disk (I am not aware whether it comes in normal parallel versions or not).

Start........
It may be a system incompatibilty....
Or Incorrect wiring.....
Look at the circuit again.....
And follow my advice......
Use any windows 95/98/Me startup Floppy....
try doin "fdisk c:" if matter not solved....
then do "sys c:".....
Common matter shud be solve now.....
End......
