I doubt that there's anything different. I recently grabbed a 40G IDE disk and it showed up as 31G until I removed the 4092 limit jumper. The 4092 limit jumper is next to the Cable Select jumper and easily confused with it. Short of access to the systems, you ask a question that will be almost impossible to answer.
