I'm trying to install SuSE 5.2 onto a PII with an IBM 14GB HD. This drive has 1757 cylinders, but not all of them are recognized. If I select system information from setup, before yast is launched, the full size of the disk is recognized. However, yast won't let me assign a partition to any area past cylinder 1024. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. -- mail to: ariggins@home.com - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

If it is an ide disk, is it in LBA mode? Do you have another ide disk on the primary ide? alexm - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

alex, It is an IDE disk, and is the only HD in the system.

Indeed, a friend of mine has 14.5gig IBM EIDE disk on ASUS P2B and P-II 400. He only can make use of 11gig of the disk space. The only OS that can see all the space is Win98. I am puzzled... alexm - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
