Well, using the nonus cd for woody 3.0, at the partitioning step, cfdisk was able to see only 137 gb. Is this a problem for that cfdisk version, fixed later?
Or may be I should install the optional ultra ata controller card that came in the package? They (WD people) mentioned that it was a windows isue, that's why I didn't consider it from the beginning.
