1. just install a new hd 160GB but du only shows aprox. 150GB anything i can do to display full size of drive using 9.3
For manufacturers, 160GB is 160*1000*1000*1000, ie, 160E9 bytes. For programmers, 160GB is 160*1024*1024*1024, ie, 171798691840 bytes. Or, said another way, those 160GB for the manufacturer are in fact only 149GB (actually, it may be gB or Gb or some other case combination I forgot). Anyway, there you have your 150 GB. Welcome to the real world! ;-)
lares:/home/boricua # df -h
Actually, to see the real size, use "fdisk /dev/hda" (df will not show not mounted partitions, nor size used by "format"). For example, mine says: Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60022480896 bytes which is 55Gb in fact.
2. the old drive i set as slave but is not seen by the system i would like to mount it to retried some data from it
Try "fdisk -l" to see if it is really not seen. If it is not, see in /var/log/boot.msg why not. I assume the bios does see it. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDLBA3tTMYHG2NR9URAoJyAJ4yEwDcyg96cKYcIeVsd7G9t7id+gCfeHF0 7hr0a1xaUvUtRmzKcK7dToY= =YuW5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
