Not much time in between the date there, but i havent partitioned the drive yet would it be more logical to just use drive overlay software and if so do i have to use one made for my hdd or are they all universal?

A BIOS that recent will support practically ANY hard disk drive. Make sure you don't have any 8.4GB-limiting jumper set on the HDD.

And make sure that MODE is set to LBA.

checked for jumpers all it had were for the Lan Led,and the one for CMOS reset and i checked the lba it was turned on, afraid that its dead as i havnt even been able to access the drive yet

Is the drive 1)detected as 8.4GB or 2) as 20GB and having only 8.4GB space ?
1) > Remove capacity limitation jumper on HDD
2) > Repartition your drive to full 20GB

Enter the model numer o your HDD into the search option and then have a closer look onto the HDD jumpers - seems it's jumpered to 8GB
