You might be able to upgrade your bios in order to see all 20G's.
Have you tried installing lilo yet? You need to set up /etc/lilo.conf
and then run -
# /sbin/lilo
Take a look in -
/usr/share/doc/lilo
especially -
$ zless /usr/share/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz
You could also try -
/usr/sbin/liloconfig
There is a manpage.
If you don't get it done then post back, let us know what you have tried
and what your setup is.
