Erm, does Linux read the BIOS for that info? Although I believe there maybe another way if you can specify cylinder/heads etc... Wish I had an 80GB HD, thought 15GB was good, but only have 1.9GB left.. Matt On Fri, 16 Feb 2001, Seth Payne wrote:
Hello!
I am going to buy a big (80 GB) hard drive for my machine tonight. The problem is, my machine is 3 yrs old so the bios can only "see" an 8 GB drive. How do i get Linux to recognize that the Drive is actually 80 GB?
