here is a screen capture of the info after the tests it shows 78gb.
Oh dear, that doesn't look good -- especially if you were running that test from a bootable CD or floppy, in which case it can't be blamed on Windows drivers.
i looked in the Bios it shows both hard drives listed but not there size. i dont know if there is another way of seeing there info on there but thats all it shows.
I guess it depends on the brand of BIOS. Some only show the name / model number of each connected disk but not the capacity.
I would return the hard disk for replacement.
