Hi all!. I guess it's my turn to have the frustration of not being able to partition and format a 20 g HD. I have tow (2) other exact same disks running linux but cannot get this one to work. I am running a Asus P3B-F MB /w an Award BIOS. The HD is set to Auto and LBA, as recommended for large disks. I installed a Maxtor Model # 92049U6 20 G HD. This HD says it has 16,383 cylinders 10 heads and 63 sectors on the data plate. I tried to partition and format this HD using fdisk and Yast. Both of these utilities reported that the drive capacity was 1027 cylinders, blah, lilo blah, above the cylinder limit, blah,blah. I know and understand all about the 1024 limit for lilo and appreciated the warning. The problem is that this hard drive should report somewhere in 2000+ rang for cylinders. As it is reporting now, I have only about 8G. I did not purchase this drive to only use 8G. Can anyone tell me why the partitioning utilities won't recognize the whole drive capacity?
