Hard drive limit?

Hi all,

I have a new ASROCK K7VM3 motherboard and a
Maxtor DiamonMax Plus 8 40G ATA/133 HDD
6E040L0 which passes all the diag tests.
When I go to the Maxtor knowledge base they say
to get a new controller card or use their overlay soft
ware. No other solutions are listed.
Problem is that the hd only shows up as a 33G
drive from the bios. The limitation jumper is not set
so it should show 40G. I have
used the "wipe drive" feature in the Maxtor diag soft
ware and it still didn't fix this. I know that the drive
should show up as 40G but I can't get it to do this.
I did have the drive in an older motherboard that had
the 33G limitation and ever since then I haven't been
able to get the drive back up to the 40G limit. How
do I fix this since I have done it with others just not
Maxtor?

thanks,
charles....
