Hi, I'm new here and I have a problem. I just built my system and I am having trouble getting it to recognize my 320 gig HDD. It was recognizing it, but only as 32gigs. When I went to partition and format it I got a message saying my DDO was wrong. Sometimes when I used Maxblast 4 or Seaqgate Disk Wizard I'd get the right size. But when I got done partitioning it to 4 drives it still only showed 32gigs. I went to Disk management(mistake) and screwed things up so it doesn't even see the drive anymore. The 320 is in a mobile dock and if I boot up with it in and on nothing happens. When I turn it off and reboot, I get a message saying my overclocking has failed and I have to reset it. I don't even know how or why to overclock. I'll go into my bios, reset the defaults and it'll boot up normally. My bios is LBA enabled. I have windows XP with both service packs. What did I do wrong and how do I fix it. Thanks in advace.
