I would like to ask if someone experince this problem on a Hard disc. I had a 320 GB WD Blue 3.5 Hard disc. When i plug on my PC BIOS detect it for a while and dis-appear. Luckily sometimes i can check it on a bootable CD or attach on other LINUX PC but for a while it will dis-appear. As if you try to access the HD it will disappear from OS system even in BIOS. This is the results when i check the HD on linux using Fdisk. To my surprise the 320GB detected as 2TB.. HOW come it become to 2TB.

the Disk Identifier change when i force to format it with fdisk option.. It means the disc is still accessible or something im missing..i already tried gparted or any tools related to HD or Filesystem (UBCD). But no success.
Maybe someone can give some ensights or opinion or any things that will help recover my HD or should i throw it on the garbage.

disktab - disk description file
Syntax
#include <disktab.h>
Description
The file is a simple data base that describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics. The format is patterned after the termi-
nal data base. Entries in consist of a number of fields separated by colons (:). The first entry for each disk gives the names that are
known for the disk, separated by vertical bars (|). The last name given should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
The following list indicates the normal values stored for each disk entry:
Name Type Description
ns num Number of sectors per track
nt num Number of tracks per cylinder
nc num Total number of cylinders on the disk
ba num Block size for partition `a' (bytes)
bd num Block size for partition `d' (bytes)
be num Block size for partition `e' (bytes)
bf num Block size for partition `f' (bytes)
bg num Block size for partition `g' (bytes)
bh num Block size for partition `h' (bytes)
fa num Fragment size for partition `a' (bytes)
fd num Fragment size for partition `d' (bytes)
fe num Fragment size for partition `e' (bytes)
ff num Fragment size for partition `f' (bytes)
fg num Fragment size for partition `g' (bytes)
fh num Fragment size for partition `h' (bytes)
pa num Size of partition `a' in sectors
pb num Size of partition `b' in sectors
pc num Size of partition `c' in sectors
pd num Size of partition `d' in sectors
pe num Size of partition `e' in sectors
pf num Size of partition `f' in sectors
pg num Size of partition `g' in sectors
ph num Size of partition `h' in sectors
se num Sector size in bytes
ty str Type of disk (e.g. removable, winchester)
The entries can be automatically generated with the program.
