Incorrect HD settings in AMI Bios

Hi!
Can't seem to set up my Fujitsu 40GB correctly. Using AMI Bios version from 29.11.02. HD size/parameters not recognised correctly. Tried manually setting them by selecting the "user" option but couldn't manually set the correct sectors/cylinders etc.

Can anybody help?

Thanks,
Scott
