How? The Seagate utilities disk that came with the drive shows that I can but when I try it fails instantly. Nothing reports the drive as it was native.
Model Number Model Name Capacity Interface RPM Seek Time System Type
ST380011A Barracuda 7200.7 80 GB Ultra ATA/100 7200 RPM 8.5 ms avg DPC

Which one do you have?
• Alternate capacity jumper:
Drives with a 40-Gbyte capacity
or greater are limited to 32
Gbytes. Use this jumper only if
you have a legacy system with a
BIOS that does not support
large capacity disc drives. When
using the alternate capacity
jumper,
• Manager software is required to
achieve the drive’s full capacity.
jumper is set to cable select, all sources indicate it is about 33 gb, the included seagate install cd tells me the native capacity but says it fails when I attempt to set it back to full capacity.

Like I already said, the seagate disk utilities "fail" instantly EVERY TIME so I can't get it to show up as the full capacity, although the disk utilities does know it is capable.
EDIT/ Okay, I tried the floppy again and it worked this time! BUT>>> Something happened and now win xp installer thinks theres about 3.XXX gb there and formating it through the utility it thinks there are 25 gb there. The model number and serial number are all messed up, showing me just random symbols and letters, it looks corrupted somehow and don't know how to fix this. I am trying the Full erase that writes blank data onto the drive, but this will take more than an hour and when I tried this before with the 33 gb limit it didn't work. *Deep breath. So... now I am lost again.

This definetely sounds like a virus. Are you running any antivirus program like AVG. Have you run-- Spybot Search & Destroy, Adaware, CWShredder? I would do all od those and check it again at this point. make sure you update them all for the latest virus,trojan, updates.
Just out of curiosity,Does the motherboard support Ultra ATA? Do you have an Ultra ATA cable on it? And is the blue end plugged to the motherboard? And have you checked the bios & device manager to see if there's anything in there to set, Other than that I'd say ask the Seagate techs through their e-mail support. http://www.seagate.com/support/email/index.html. I'm stumped.

It has ultra ata, but windows is not installed with it. since trying to get it formatted right it has shown capacities between 4 and 360+ GB and it won't let me set the capacity to what it is supposed to be, when I try it tells me another wrong capacity. It also has labeled it JT or QT 1800 when it is supposed to be ??3800
Has been RMAd and shipped, should reach allens or something like that TX by like Today actually. Now I am hoping for a 120gigger to match my other 120gigger so I can raid em up properly, hehe, PLEASE SEND ME A 120 SEAGATE!!! I WILL NEVER BUY MAXTOR AGAIN IF YOU DO!*
Anyone affiliated with Seagate can not read any further, doing so violates the terms and conditions of this post and subjects you to send me free hard drives at my will and desire, for life!
*does not apply if the period of 1 year passes :fu:
I Got A 160gb Drive!!!! Now Its Not Matched With My 120, But Who Cares? I'll Figure Something Out. So, Thinking About It, I Paid $40 For This Drive, Plus $7.15 To Send It For Rma, Pretty Good For 160 Gb Still Today.

After setting the capacity-limiting jumper, run DiscWizard Starter Edition to allow your computer to recognize the full capacity of the drive.
Here that is-- http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/drivers/discwiz.html.
Hope this helps.
