Hi guys
Ok I have googled this all day and found quite a few other people with the same issue.
Samsung 1tb drive that when you install it shows up as 32mb only.
These drives have 32mb cache which leads me to believe that the spinning disk part isnt working and its only reading the onboard caqche as part of the drive size.
Sent ite back to ebuyer and was sent another and guess what!!! same problem!
I have tried this in 2 rigs so far, one with a gigabyte P35C-DS3R motherboard and on my main asus P5K-E board both running Vista SP1 (32bit & 64bit).
In Windows Disk Manager the drive was not initialised so I initialised it and tried reformatting to no avail. Its not a software / OS issue as it shows up in the bios like this too (32mb big).
I am going to send it back and get a 750GB Western Digital Caviar Black series drive instead, but wanted to know if anyone else has had similar issues.
really pissed me off
