[expert] 7.7G Limit on HD? no..

[Homer Shimpsian]

Is it possible that I can learn how to enable all 45 Gigs on my hard drive
in the next 3.5 hours?

I installed this sucker and followed the directions on fdisking and
formating ext2..  but it only shows up as 7.7 Gigs.   I suspect it has
something to do with inodes.

Can anyone point me to some docs or let me know how to break this barrier?
I'm suprised that Mandrake 7.1 doesn't autodetect this.
