can't mount drive.

[Chris Wakefield <c_wakefield@shaw.ca>]

Greetings to all.

I have an ide drive on my system that I can't mount for some reason.  I'm 
currently running pure64.

dmesg reports the drive being present:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
debian:/home/crow# dmesg|grep hda
hda: Maxtor 6Y120P0, ATA DISK drive
--------------------------------------------------------


However fdisk -l only issues this:
----------------------------------------------
debian:/home/crow# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 37.0 GB, 37019566080 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4500 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        2067    16603146   83  Linux

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To make sure the drive is working, I performed an install to one of the 
partitions of this drive and can boot to it via a floppy no problem at all.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thanks in advance for any responses,

Chris W.
