Sounds like a BIOS issue...the 29GB might be roughly the 32GB
limit...maybe check for a BIOS update?

Hi Group, I'm writing today to find out how to increase the size of my new
120 gb hard drive.  You see I used ghost to copy my old 9 gb hard drive to
the new 120 gb hard drive and when I look at the drive in windows using
samba it shows that the drive is only 29 gb here is a fsdisk listing of my
partition right now

/sbin/sfdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 4111 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *      0+     42      43-    345366   83  Linux
/dev/hda2         43    4004    3962   31824765   83  Linux
                end: (c,h,s) expected (1023,254,63) found (932,254,63)
/dev/hda3       4005    4110     106     851445   82  Linux swap
                start: (c,h,s) expected (1023,254,63) found (933,0,1)
                end: (c,h,s) expected (1023,254,63) found (14,254,63)
/dev/hda4          0       -       0          0    0  Empty

my question is how can I use the rest of the 90 gb or so that are still
left?  Thanks in advance to all that help.  Todd
