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?
As far as I know, Linux cannot correctly deal with a hard drive that your BIOS can't see. It could cause you other hardware problems too.
