The bios sees the drive as LBA/133 when booting.
Is that normal or maybe this hard drive is bad?
I'm guessing either the bios is wrong or the HD is not as advertised.
How would you go about solving this?
Tomorrow is the last day to get an exchange on the motherboard and I have about 7 days on the HD return.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Windows sees it as this.
