FIRST OF ALL --- HOW DO I IDENTIFY WHAT HARDWARE/SOFTWARE/BIOS/FIRMWARE I HAVE?

I have an early MERIDIAN SNAP SERVER 2000 . I am sure it is all stock, factory software, bios, etc...

Serial # is "29,xxx"

I followed the tutorial here for adding bigger hard drives, but I ran into some trouble.

When I took the factory 7.5 GB drives out, I replaced them with 2 x 20GB drives and it showed all 40 GB once I rebooted...

So this was great, and then I got the storage bug -- so I swapped the Master 20 GB drive out and set a new 120 GB drive as master and installed it...

Once it formatted it only showed 15.5 GB on the 120GB drive - the slave still shows the full 20 GB.

WONDERING WHAT I DID WRONG.

Was under the impression after reading through the threads here that I didn't need to update my Bios/Firmware if the drive wasn't larger than 137 GB?

Thanks in advance!!!
