Thanks all for your replys which lead me to more questions.

If I remember correctly, I think I set the jumper for 32gigs because I was running Win98, also possibly because the motherboard couldn't handle it. Regardless, I kept the jumper after I installed Win XP because I was afraid of losing the info I built up over time so my claim that Win XP couldn't handle was misleading, sorry.

IDEAS MAN -- you say "However, this will destroy all your data on your drive and you cannot use it if it's the system drive (Unless you have free space to make another partition)."
QUESTION: how much free space? I have 17 gigs free of the 32gigs windows is reading.

dglienna/Dave -- how do I flash the bios exactly? Will this allow me to remove the jumper? I've heard of doing this but have no idea how or when to do it. Could you please list a step by step process? Is there a risk of losing any data?


THANKS ALL!!!
