as a 60 gig drive(512byte * 120103200 ~= 60 gig)
When you partitioned it, did cfdisk/fdisk only show a 17 gig partition?
run dmesg, and look for a line somewhat similar to the last one of these,
it should say 60xxx MB or something
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KX13.6, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hda: 26771672 sectors (13707 MB) w/418KiB Cache, CHS=1666/255/63, UDMA(33)
