Francisco:
I found this in the Western Digital knowledge data base.  I thought it may
shed light on your size reporting problem.  Hope it helps:

>> Hello!
>> 
>> I received part of my Cube care package yesterday (2 512 Mb DIMMS and a
>> barracuda IV 80 GB disk). The problem is that I did some test at the
>> office, hooking up the drive to a old PC. I had to use the jumper on
>> the drive to limit its reported capacity to 31.5 GB to test it on the
>> PC (old bios won't see more tha 32 GB) and  now that I came home and
>> hooked it to the cube, it only reports 31.5 GB even though I removed
>> the jumper!!!!
>> 
>> any ideas? Do I have to go back  to the office and hook it up again to
>> remove the limit? Is there any Apple/ Unix SW that would reste this to
>> factory settings?
>> 
>> Thanks in advance!
