repost: hard drive shrank



Help needed.  Let's try this one last time.
My Western Digital 40 meg scsi hard drive on my GS quit
working recently so I did a low-level format and repartitioned it.
Now I can only access 20 megs with GSOS 6.  I have tried several
different programs to reformat and repartition without success.
The drive seems to work ok otherwise.  Can anyone give me a clue
on how to get the full capacity again?

The scsi cards I have are: an Apple SCSI (not high speed), which
is working ok at 20 megs, and a brand new Apple High Speed
card.  I have GSOS 6 on a 3.5 disk that I install the hd drivers on,
from the appropriate Apple SCSI Utils disks.
I set the scsi cards to #7 and the hd id to #5.

I did low-level formats with 'SCSI.HACKER 1.1' by Joe Jaworski, Prosel 16,
and a BASIC program that I ftp'ed. (I renamed it and forget what it was
called.) I tried partitioning with ADU, Prosel, and the programs on the
old Apple SCSI Utils disk and the Utils disk for the Apple High Speed SCSI
card.  No ROM-disk or RAM-disk was active.  Any advice is welcome.  What
might be a tech help phone number for Western Digital.  I took the system
in to my Mac dealer but the tech guy was no help at all.
