well when I manually enter the setting in the bios it says 33 gm even though it's clearly a forty but when I save and exit it goes back to calling it 2 gb... It had a 10gb in it before and I am trying to put a 40 gb in it...
As for the utillity I cant find it int's intergaterd in maxtor and wd software but they wond let you load it on a drive that not thiers..... I can find that the lates bios is 2001 / dowloads are gone and the lasted found is 4/1999 posted above I am hopeing to find the newer bios
