Ok, so i did what you said and formatted it in my computer using WD data lifeguard tools DOS version. First I zero filled it then i set the partition size (full 160Gb). I re-installed it into the external drive and it does that exact same thing, it shows only 31.6Gb and it won't let me format it through windows. I'm sure this enclosure is ok for this size of drive, i specifically checked before i bought it. So anyways that's were i'm at, any ideas?

Thanks
