Hi all
I am currently using a NEC D5126 with this 8-bit WD controller WD1002S-WX2
I am currently only able to utilize 10.1 MB of the HDD. (I have two identical drives, same results)
if I set the jumper to reflect 20 MB like the link says, there's no difference.. By fiddling with the jumbers further, I was able to get it to low-level format at a much slower pace (it took twice as much time as it usually does) but fdisk will only report "Error reading fixed disk"
Is there something I have missed here ? I am using the card's onboard bios btw, the mainboard bios (A pentium II) has both IDE controllers disabled, and all drives set to "None"
It works fine with 10MB but I think it's a waste not to be able to utilize the whole disk.
