A few months ago I did much the same other than it was an 80 gig IDE
Maxtor, and I divided it into one fat32, and five ext3 partitions.
Total of 76 gigs. I copied 4 gigs of mp3's to one of the ext3 partitons
without any problem at all. 'df -h' shows the correct sizes. So the
only varibles seem to be hardware differences, or that I divided into
multiple partitions. While I'm runnin 9.1 now, the system was 9.0 when
I installed the 80gig.
