Old components: Emprex DVD RW, 40 GB ATA Maxtor HDD and Creative Sound Blaster sound card. Windows XP w/SP2 on the 40 GB HDD. As far as I can tell there is no limiting jumper on the hard drive. I reran the Boot and Nuke, it did clean off the DDO. I managed to partition and format it once showing the true size, but when I finished it was still only 32 BG's...go figure. I am at wits end!

We have the same mobo, just realised that we have been talking about P ATA HDD's can you confirm that yours is a 320GB P ATA and not 320GB SATA .. is it possible that it's a SATA II drive ?
RE your overclocking fail that you have been seeing , I used to get that too but I fiddled with a few setting sin the BIOS and it's stopped now . Problem is that I didn't note down what I played with, and I don't remember. It only ever did it when cold booting, if you reset after passing through BIOS, it doesn't do it any more. I always found it did it after a shut down and possibly aftre power removal, for maintenance.
