    Hey guys,
    Somewhat new to this, but struggled my way through installing Ex Lite + chip, dirlled hole bigger, updated bios, installed new drive and used slayer to update software. I chose large HD and when I check the size of the drive, it only sees 30 GB. I've checked the listed partitions, still missing 90GB. Any suggestions?

    Try burning Slayers to a different brand of disc and reformatting the drive. Sometimes if the disc isn't read correctly it can screw up the install. Missing files or apps etc...

    Tried both a CDRW and DVD-R, same issue. Thanks for the suggestion, should have added that in original message. It's werid, it loads everything on the DVD-R and everything works great, except for HD size. Thanks for the help!!

    Try changing the jumper settings on the back of the harddrive.
    I've had one recently that had 2 jumpers. Needed to be set to Slave > 37gb.

    Solved problem...

    First issue was that the jumper was set to master, needed to change to cable select.

    Second issue - MOST IMPORTANT - I think that I might have had a bad drive. Exchanged 120 GB 5400 RPM Maxtor white label for 250 GB 7200 RPM Western Digital, works perfect!

    Hope it helps!
