what drives are on what cables & what are the jumper configuration as master, slave or cable select? what does the bios see the drive as? don't worry about sp2 as that is not the problem as i use win98se with a wd 160gig partitioned as 40gig for c: & 120gig for d:

download & run the utilities disk from the hd manufacturer to see if resolves your problem.

check your jumper settings on the HD as i have a 120gig that gives you the option to limit the capacity to 30gig by setting the jumpers. if this is the case theres nothin at all wrong with the hd. just put the settings rite and youll be free to roam the full 120gs
