Ok I entered my system specs. This is my old computer that I use for work. The only reason I'm using it to troublshoot the hard drive is because I haven't bought a case for the hard drive. I have it plugged into the ide and am running like a slave. Does this matter? I had this loaded with windows and was using it as my main hd, even though from the first time I formatted it it was showing 32 Gig. I don't know if I did something wrong in the initial format. As I said I have formated it already and it's showing 31.4 Gig of free space. I tried changing the jumper setting to master and you can probably guess the results with the way I have it plugged in. No OS, no boot. Any other thoughts? Do I need to get a case and hope it will work? Thanks.
