Bingo! Thanks, Ashish. It was the '32 GB Clip problem'. I had inserted an extra jumper (the 32 GB Clip) to set my HDD to be the Primary Master. Apparently, the label on the disk had put up the jumper diagram just below the title (set limit to 32 GB) to set the HDD to master, and I failed to notice the other diagram which was to set it as master, without limiting the HDD to 32 GB. Thanks to all those who read that long email and/or offered suggestions. Here's an interesting forum thread related to this post that glorifies the Linux kernel (or Linux in general). http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/200709-32-missing-space Thanks. :) -- http://www.gnu.org.in Bring your gang together.
