  It's not the jumper. I'll check BIOS on the 650, on the other one, ( i
think I said a 350 last night mut it is a 400) I have it set to automatic.
What does LBA stand for?

  It's most likely either:
  Incorrect jumper settings on the drive - but usually they ship without any
  capacity limiting options.
  Or your BIOS can't handle that size of drive.

  Check to see what your BIOS says about the drive - you might have to
enable
  LBA and while you are there 32-bit disk access (did you know this is
turned
  off by default on so many machines).

  Failing that look up the motherboard on the net to see if there are any
  firmware updates for the BIOS.
