large HDD

[Mark Bathie <m.bathie@its.uq.edu.au>]

Hi,

I'm sure this question has been posted many times. I am trying to configure my new 17Gig

HDD to work with linux/win dual boot. At the present all I want to do is partition the HDD

with linux and get linux to recognise these partitions. It seams that no matter how you

partition using cfdisk, I can only mount the 1st partition on the drive i.e. /dev/hdx1 and

non of the others. I have read the large-HDD-howto, which really identifies the problem and doesn't

tell me how to get around it.


What is the process to setup my large HDD ?


thanks in advance.
