Well, first of all I was responding to the original poster
With regard to point one:
It means that the hard drive might not be setup correctly in BIOS/CMOS.
Nothing more and nothing less.
Whether it's recognized or not is a function of whether it's setup properly or not in the BIOS/CMOS setup.
With regard to point two:
That's correct and I was already aware of that.
With regard to your third point,
It means that the hard drive might not be setup correctly in BIOS/CMOS.
Nothing more and nothing less.
Whether it's recognized properly or not is a function of whether it's setup properly or not in the BIOS/CMOS setup.
The most important thing is the original poster's data.
If the drive is good, (and I say it is) the drive can still be read and written.
By the way, I think a drive can be "recognized" with an incorrect capacity if BIOS/CMOS are not correctly set and do not match the drive.

Open your mind, not your computer.
