    Yeah, my link mentioned jumpers. Sorry, I should have just mentioned that in my post but I was being lazy.

    Heng - The master/slave jumpering here is different than the 32gig jumpering. Check out the link my above post (post #17).

    Technical specs on this HDD shows it as 80 GB formatted capacity. 80GB should be around 60GB to 70GB in size. Changing the Master to Slave on the HDD not going to change the fact you have that other partition you said you did on this drive.
