Just installed the new MB and HDD over the weekend and the problem is when I auto detect the hdd in the bios it detects the drive correctly as a 6.4GB HDD but when I reboot the machine during the boot process it only see's the HDD as being a 990MB. Any one have any suggestions on what I might try to resolve the prob? Also, I did try all the HDD Modes (LBA,LARGE,NORMAL) still the same prob.

I fdisked the drive but of course it only partitions up to 990MB, I havent low leveled the hdd, but something is starting to tell me the drive may be bad, what do you think?

If it's brand new..I would take it back.
If not...I would low level format.
