I'm using an IBM Deskstar 20GB(60GXP-7200RPM) drive, and the jumper settings are all listed on the drive itself, perhaps they don't do this on all drives, it's nice. Check out IBM.com for more drive specific info, they should have your jumper settings there for you. As far as only seeing 37GB, that most likely is correct, because most bios programs show the total storage space as 1 Gigabyte equaling something like 1,024,068,000. I know that number is not right, but the main point is that it is greater than 1,000,000,000. So when you multiply that number by 37, you get your 41GB. If that is not the case, well, I've no idea. But for example, my "20GB" drive shows up as approx. 19.6GB.

i'm use the ibm 41g,i use fat32 format it,and get 38.2G.
so i don't think your disk is limited with a jump.maybe you should see the partition information of your disk.you can see it in fdisk under dos mode.
