The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hard Drive Reporting Incorrect Size (Western Digital WD15EADS-00R6B0)

Asked by DAQADMIN in Hard Drives & Storage, Computer Hard Drives, Disk Partition Tools

Hi all,
Whats in place>
MB: GA-P35-DS3P
Disk 0: WD 160g
Disk 1: WD 1.5tb
Disk 2: WD 500g
Disk 4: WD 1.5tb (eSata external)
Disk 5: WD 500g (eSata external)

All drives appear in bios. Disk4 reports as 1.5tb / Disk1 reports as 500g.
I've tried three different partition managers and they all identify the drive model correctly but only report 500g. (I mainly use Boot-IT NG)

Disk1 did report correctly under Win7 > moved some data to it > installed Disks4 & 5 > then Disk1 went from NTFS to RAW format following reboot. Data recovered OK via GetBack and can since partition / format the drive but only to this reported 500g. Disk is new. WD diagnostics thus far report drive as 500g but don't report any problems.

Do I or don't I have a dud drive? ... or any other advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
