Hardware / Slave h/d missing over 40GB

............ Any chance of a little more insight? ie: were a pin (jumper) should be situated on a 80GB maxtor slave harddrive. Or should i just take some random guesses until the computer boots up and shows the full drive, not knowing much on the subject i kinda figured id ask for a little advice before putting my computer at risk by playing about with stuff that i have no knowledge of.

Hi, i need a little help.  What happend was i decided to move my slave hard drive from my old computer to my new computer,(both xp) the 1st problem i had was the new computer wouldnt boot up so i did a quick seach and it seemed the pin on the back of the hard drive was in the wrong place, (it was 4 from the right i moved it to 3 from the right) ( http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/index.ph...1&hl=hard+drive ) after that it booted up straight away. The next prob i had was it wanted me to format the drive before i could use it so i used easyrecovery to move all my stuff from that drive to my primary drive, after that i did the ntfs format the problem i have run into now is that it only shows 31.49GB when the drive is almost 80GB in total. any1 have any idea's...

Thx Dojo
