Hello, I recently got a 100 gig Western Digital drive used...it was slaved to my desktop and I inadvertently formatted it using the XP Format...command.

I thought I was formatting a USB drive but F looks a lot like E in the wee hours. I simply formatted the wrong drive!!

Now my 100 gig Hard Drive reports it is a 10 gig hard drive...I've got some tools, like PartitionMagic 8.0, Western Digital's Data Lifeguard, and some freeware utilities I've downloaded...but nothing seems to be able to fix the problem.

I've checked the jumpers, I've checked the BIOS, still only 10 gigs.

What do I need to do to get this drive to report 100Gigabytes? For the record, it is a Western Digital WD100BB-60AUA1

Thanks...
