i posted C/S jumpering, not cs jumping... also, i suppose you mean wd Caviar, not wd cavier?
it means cable select, more info : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/
and please leave your hair alone !
here the jumper settings : http://wdc.custhelp.com/cg
>> If i remove the 40 gig it sees the drive but only sees it as a 8.79 gig. << yes, then it may be the bios that does not have the 48-bit LBA support
info (look at the 128 GB barrier : http://www.dewassoc.com/kb
>> the hp is a hp compaq with intel pentium 4. << that is NOT what i asked, what model is it ?? then i can look
is it a presario?

I am old fan of WD drives. but to my experience when WD drives are intermixed there are detection problems. its documented well on internet. i suggest u put the problematic WD drive inplace of ur CD/DVD cable, remove CD/DVD and put this on that cable. try changing to cable select. try putting drive in external USB enclosure, that will eliminate all the Socket/Motherboard/cable/P
There is a couple things on WD hard drives you might want to know.
First off, they should be set to master and slave instead of C/S. As stated above multiple WD drives can conflict.

"If the universal utility is unable to read ID from that HDD and reports error 04h (ABRT), then you should launch a specialized utility for Western Digital HDDs. It will switch the drive to factory mode and attempt to read firmware header in ROM and the configuration sector in service area on disk."
You might consider manually setting your BIOS drive settings with the drive's parameters, (like sectors, cylinders and heads). I think Most BIOS will let you set these manually still.

is the pc using C/S jumpering for the drives? then the new one must have that too; otherwise, check the M/S jumper on both, wd has different jumper system
also, wd2500 is unkniwn model - is it correct?
post also the HP model
