Maxtor 2B020H1 20Gb

August 23rd, 2004, 6:42

I have this Maxtor HD as a replacement for a old drive.

However, this drive is only recognized as a 1,6Gb and not as a 20Gb (as it should be). I've checked the parm's and i have a huge reduction of cyl's and LBA size.

Is there any easy way to re-establish the original values ?

Firmware ?
