Sorry this is a bit off topic, but I think someone out there could save me a lot of grey hair.
I'm trying to configure the BIOS (Award) after installing a new hard disk after one died, and have this problem. It is a 4.3GB drive, and the BIOS incorrectly auto-detects it as 2GB. If I set the BIOS for "User" type and enter the parameters from the drive, the correct size comes up when I do fdisk and format, but then scandisk says the last cluster is unreadable probably because the drive is not set to LBA. However, when I select LBA in the BIOS, it does not allow me to enter my own drive parameters.
