Hi all,

I just brought 17.2G ide harddrive, and when I try to use cfdisk to
partition
it, it only sees 8G. FWIW, I updated cfdisk to ones in frozen. Bios and
Linux
bootup sees it as 17.2G, so I don't know why cfdisk will not.:(

Running 2.0.36(my own roll) and mostly Debian 2.0 with few updates.

        Thanks for any information,
        David

try fdisk.  Also you may have to enter the drive parameters (heads,
tracks, sectors).  See man page for fdisk.
