It sounds like a Windows update problem. Update to SP2 and then do the same with your motherboard's Bios. Please give it a try then provide us feed back?

I get past these problems all the time. Keep in touch!!

These hard disks have a jumper setting which can restrict the drive to 33GB.

'The jumper setting acts as a 32GB clip which clips the LBA to 66055248. The CHS is unchanged from the factory default of 16383/16/63. Installing the 2GB/32GB capacity clip jumpers reduces the drive capacity to 33.8GB.'
