Well after much much hassle, elandsness and danbhms with the assistance from pmeserve(failed too) and rbarr(woot! go ryan) we got the issues solved.

Issue 1: the 200gb hd – turns out there WAS a jumper a for the drive that set it to 32gb… yeah I’m a dork. It’s fixed. Drive is 200gb.. woot.

Issue 2: The floppy drive we were trying to use to flash the bios (which turned out to be pointless.. see point 1, was disabled in bios.. wtf..

so yeah.. I’m a software guy.. not a hardware guy.

But trogdor strikes again! well.. as trogdor 3.1. woot.
